lol. the way social security is going whats the point ofliving till 90? it woould be a pretty miserable life IMO lol
i'll take the 200 mill (this is after tax right?) and enjoy it for the next 35 years of my life. crap i may just invest on a cryogenic vault and save myself at age 64. put the rest of my savings on a high yield long term investement and wake up sometime later...

assuming my kids get married and have kids, I would like more time with my grandkids. I will remain poor and live long.

I would probably take the money cause like Ron said, I will be happy with 70 at this point lol

Is this an annuity payment or lump sum?
