    POLL: Would you take a guaranteed 1K today or wait a year for a guaranteed 2K?

    Let's say Bill Gates(or anyone reliable with money) offered you $1000 today or you can wait a year and he'll give you $2000 instead. What would you take?

    The Poll wasn't up right away so if you haven't voted feel free to cast your vote. I'm a bit surprised by the results so far. I was going to make it $1500 or $1100 instead of $2000 but I figured nobody would take that... although I would.

    Take the $1000 and party/gamble with it for a night

    Next year isn't guaranteed

    Obviously take the 2 grand if you weren't going to use the 1000 immediately to have some fun with

    I would take the 1K now. 2k to me is meaningless waiting for an extended 365 days. You could be dead tomorrow.

    Now, if you said 5k after 365 days... might be a different story.

    $1k difference isn't a big enough amount to wait on.

    Tomorrow is never guaranteed.

    good question for the general public on yahoo answers or something but for forum full of gamblers it's kinda silly.
