No Brainer for me since I can live easy on 35K per year I am gone at 42.

I guess it would depend on the job.

If it was the lead photographer for Playboy Magazine, I'd guess I would 'tough' out the next 10 years 'working'.

Take the money!

I'm with Bruce1-- I can LBYM and invest the difference to take care of any inflation concerns. I'm outta there at 42.

It's because I've never found Cut-Throat's "dream job", one where it's hard to believe that you get paid for having so much fun...

 

[BigMoneyJim]

Hah! No brainer for me. I'm outta there with $100k.

Ditto, gone at 42. BTW, the Playboy job has no appeal
as I am married to a natural beauty.
