Would you rather receive a $1 million grant or a guaranteed $10,000 salary every year for life?

$1M. Invest some of it for a regular income. Invest some of it on the stock market. (for growth & dividends). Invest some it in my own business. Travel. $10k a month is nice if you know that you are going to be living for a long time - but as we know, there is no guarantee of that.
