What is the amount you will receive today with the lump sum option?

Which option would you select? How would you present your argument for your decision in a debate?

At the end of the year, you place the money from the envelope in a stock fund with an average interest rate of 10%.

How much will you have in the account when you retire at age 65?

What would be different if you started this plan later in your life?
