    Every time I eat dark chocolate, I sneeze. I’m not even allergic, it’s got something to do with a nerve. So I’m gonna be eating that mofo forever now. 3$ for future sneezes please.

    I sneeze an average of something like 5 times a day. I cluster sneeze, and the number in the cluster rose from 3-5+ over the years, and some days are worse but its frequent enough to probably average to 5. My prior average was 1-2 a day, so even tho I’m almost 40, I’m going with the future sneezes.

    $15/day is nothing to sneeze at, after all.

    I’ll take the past sneezes so I can get one single payment now and invest it or something, instead of $3 trickling in every now and then that I’ll just spend before ever noticing I have it

      over a 30 year time frame, assuming the same rate of sneezing of your part and future 30 years, you make almost 20% more by taking the past value and investing it for thirty years than investing only what you get going forward

      so maybe it’s worth it for people under 30 to take the future option, but not after that age. unless you game the system and cause some hell for yourself by sneezing a shitload.

      Yeah, I got that going on after every run now and it gets painful. (My workout warmup is a mile jog and I work out 5 times a week.)
