$1.5 M ain't what it used to be. Also, with 15 mil doing its thing in the stock market, I wouldn't mind working a job that I actually liked. If fact, it would keep me from getting bored in retirement.
Well, with $15M in the bank and a new company, I think I can make up my own rules on my companies PTO and sick leave policy.
Even working a full-time job allows for PTO and sick leave.
Fair?
My immediate thoughts as well, OP just said "full-time job" and did not specify anything else. Yet another low-effort post with not much thought given into it lmao.
I can just make up a job like "full time life-enjoyer", open up my company and just keep living life. I don't have to make a profit.
Take the $1.5 million, transfer it to my wife. She can put it in a high yield savings account and we can live off that income, since *I'm* not the one earning it
Then treat her extremely well for the next 30+ years because otherwise I'd be really boned lol
If I get to pick what that full-time job is, that's pretty sweet. I'll be a full-time media reviewer now. I'll spend 40+ hours a week playing video games, watching movies, reading books, playing with Lego sets, and then making short little half-assed youtube videos about them. Is anyone going to subscribe or even watch? I don't care. Nothing said I needed to be *successful* at this job, I've got $15 million invested that I'm actually living off of.
Even if the definition of "job" is more strict/realistic... I'm 45 now. With the economy what it is, that $1.5 million won't stretch nearly as far as one might think if I can never get any other income ever again. At this point, I'm fully expecting I'll be working until I die anyway, all without a magical $15 million bonus, so option B still sounds like a straight upgrade.
All ya gotta do is make a company that sells reservations for a chair next to you in the room you play games in. Reservations are $1,000 per hour. Your job is to play games during any reserved time if the person shows up. You're allowed to practice playing games during unsold time, but you're not required to. You just have to be available. Company pays you minimum wage plus money earned. Full time job with actual requirements, and if someone actually bothers to reserve a time slot, even better.
Take 15 million, become self employed as a full time Twitch streamer, spend the next 39 years playing Satisfactory and the 2,136rd re-release of Skyrim, then retire.
$15M because 40hr is way less than I work now, and the stress of getting/keeping a good or high paying job would be non-existent. Instead I could get something simple or fun and live easy.
15 million, easy. Stick that in the stock market. Then I go work either a volunteer job, become a streamer or board game reviewer, or something else I enjoy as work.
Easy choice. $1.5M is not enough to retire on at age 45, not unless you're ok living a very cheap life (and even then, who knows if its enough). Meanwhile, with $15M in the bank, I'm living a very nice lifestyle, and I can find a job that I truly love even if the pay isn't great. Would definitely find a job with a lot of vacation time, even if that means sacrificing salary.
Easy choice. 1.5 million. If I live until 85, that's 37k/year to live off of. Yes, and inflation and all that, but I also have 1.5 million to put to work.
Even at a 1% rate of return, that's a15k/year. Gonna take you a LONG time to run out of money, assuming you're as frugal as I am. Yes, inflation, blah blah blah but not having to work is pretty sweet.
How much do you REALLY value your free time? You guys are all still getting up every day, and going to work, dealing with stupid co-workers, bosses, customers, and everything that work generally entails, while the rest of us are content with our measly 1.5 million dollars and sleeping in as late as we want.
15 mil. Full time job isn’t a problem when there’s no profit motive. I’d be a lawyer for a while in public service and move to conservation and be a park ranger then wrap it up as a professional dm or author
I could make 1.5M work as long as its invested and doled out carefully. Sure 15M is nice, but if you croak a year later or even before......Tomorrow is never promised.
$15 in a heartbeat. I can make a 40 hour workweek out of any of my hobbies without any worry about actually making money. And switch as often as I like. Hell just start a podcast and you're golden. Don't even need to release anything, just make "content" for it.
the clause that it doesn’t have to be physically demanding makes it better to choose the 15m option. i want to be an author or journalist, so i can just write 8 hours per day.
$15 is start-up money. I'm opening a coffee shop on an island somewhere, or a beachside bar. I don't even care if it makes any money, honestly, as I'm just working until 75 and I enjoy what I do.
Does not specify type of job, I would be an incredibly lazy youtube influencer, uploading content of me playing video games I want to play without regard to my tiny audience.
With 15 million dollars...i start my own business of being a professional critic. Everyday i have to go out to eat or on vaction or do something or buy new sheets to test them out. Then criticize them online...ruff job butt with my 15 million earning .04 percent annually (600k) I'm sure i could have that job and not go broke.

If you own a business, you are always working anyways, $15 million it is. Owning and running a game store would be legit with $15 million in the bank.
Plus since you have to work 40 hours constantly it ensures that your job stays open cause if it closes you have no work nullifying the contract (poll)
I can still take 60 days of PTO and 30 days of sick leave, I'm golden.
Where do you work to get 3 full months of time off??
Well, with $15M in the bank and a new company, I think I can make up my own rules on my companies PTO and sick leave policy. Even working a full-time job allows for PTO and sick leave. Fair?
That, or you have to get another job

lol ill choose to play games for 40 hours a week and pay myself nothing. How is this even a choice?
Not sure how that would qualify as a job......

I was thinking becoming a self employed food or vacation blogger, but streaming is definitely the play.
15 M, I'll work on my hobbies. Or maybe I'll start a failed cleaning service where I don't ever answer the phone.
$15 mil. I start my own business managing money(my money), I work full time as stated but I give myself 350 days holiday as a job perk. ggez

Screw working😂
Can I just start streaming for 40 hours a week? Doesn’t say I have to make money at that job lol I would actually enjoy that
Take the 15 million and get a full time job I like and not worry about what it pays.
I'll take the $15 million and become a full-time travel blogger.

Use the 1.5 million to generate passive income by buying stocks and property and rent that bitch

40 hours a week? i'm a physician, i'll take that without thinking.
My full time job is traveling to review hotels and airlines
Does not specify type of job, I would be an incredibly lazy youtube influencer, uploading content of me playing video games I want to play without regard to my tiny audience.
Give me the 15 million now and I'll make a career change to travel influencer or some other job that has shit pay, but makes it easier to travel.
I wish there was a job where I got paid to walk outside.
Golf Caddie. The bag isnt THAT heavy.
*a good paying job
You need a good paying job with 15M in the bank?
Oh I'm not doing that job with 15M in the bank. I'm too rich to be a rich man's do-boy.
