OMG this is a good one :) Big props to NPR and Brad from Time’s MoneyLand for circulating this around – very clever! I was starting to run out of some good ones over the years, haha…. so here we go – a new Would You Rather! Courtesy of MoneyLand:
Would you rather:
A. Live in 1900 and make $70,000 a year.
or
B. Live today and make $70,000 a year.
If you choose A., you get to be super rich; your income is roughly equal to $700,000 today. You get a mansion, servants, the whole deal.
Choice B. means you aren’t rich, but you’re not poor — and you don’t have to worry about being crippled by polio, or killed when a cut on your foot gets infected. You also get cable TV and air conditioning.
Haha… those... More...
