Would you rather be...
25 and broke,
-or- 50 with $1M in the bank?

I've been 25 and broke; I'm now 38 and getting some cash. I'll take the age 38 stage anyday.
PS - $1m in the bank ain't much these days. You'd be wise to shoot for that total before 50.

Tough question. Money comes and goes, no worry.

Life is a journey. Each age has its plusses and minuses.

To answer my own question, I'd take 25 and broke - but knowing what I know now.

Given that I've been broke my whole life and am rapidly approaching 40, I'd go for the 50 with a mil.

Rather be 50 with $3 mill in the bank. Done the broke-ass crap long enough. There is a future that is not so bright without extra help.

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would I'd rather be a hammer than a nail Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would Away, I'd rather sail away Like a swan that's here and gone A man gets tied up to the ground He gives the world its saddest sound Its saddest sound I'd rather be a forest than a street Yes I would, if I could, I surely would I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet Yes I would, if I only could, I surely would -S&G
