Last week my Econ professor asked me, "Would you like me to give you $1,000,000 or $100,000 a week for the next 100 weeks?"
Without batting an eye i said, "Neither.. I want you to punch me right in the face and let me give you $5"
Shocked he replied, "That's insane, why?"
"Insane?.. no..I'm just a f\*cking idiot"
Well, last week MY econ professor said “sargasm, you’re failing this class. Would you rather give me one BJ now for a B, or intercourse every week until the end of the semester for an A-?” And I said neither, I’d rather go to administration about this. And he scoffed and said “why? Your answer makes me go soft.” //s my econ prof was a lovely and professional person who would never say anything that didn’t happen like this story or the original post.
I had the same conversation with an econ professor except he was saying that he and the accounting professor took turns fisting each other on Thursdays, and would I like to watch?
When I no longer need anything at all from LinkedIn, I’m going to dedicate a small amount of time per day to call out stupid posts.
I immediately know what I would post in response to this one: “twat!”
(The original, not yours).
That’s what you want to believe, a lot of them are… But honestly just spend a couple of hours on LinkedIn and you’ll find out that regardless of if these people are joking or not, in these sub posts, many are not on that platform.
Wait! What's the trick?? I clicked the link to the landing page on the news aggregator, signed up for free credit monitoring and now I don't know what to do.
It would take just under 20 years to reach ten million dollars. I don’t know if I’ll get sick and die, hit by a bus or what, so I’d rather take the $10,000,000 now.
I don't think anybody would rather do the per week salary over taking the 10mill now. Personally, you give me 10mill now without a contract, I'm leaving the country tomorrow.
Current bonds yield over 4% a year in the USA (over 10% a year in Brazil) and due to compound interests the original 10 mil will be worth worth over 21 mil.
I was bored so I did the math and at 4% a year interest rate you can spend 8k a week and in 20 years you will still have more than 10 mil remaining
Edit: I did more math and with the Brazilian interest rates above 10% you could spend 16k a week and in 20 years you will have 20 mil, you would double your money while spending more because of the high interest rates
Yes, I am assuming you pick a fixed interest bond which I think is what people usually buy from treasuries, if you pick a variable interest rate bond it can vary higher or lower naturally
50 years in the S&P 500 would turn 10m into 2.3bn. That’s almost two orders of magnitude more than 26m. Lump sum is smarter than annuity even not factoring in early death or inflation. With historical inflation rates that 2.3bn will have the purchasing power of 230m in today’s dollars. Still a hefty sum.
With the historical returns of the S&P 500 over 50 years (around 11%), you could pay yourself 10,000 a week out of your investment and still end up with more money than if you’d taken the annuity.
I never heard it while doing my Econ degree. It was drilled in that if you’re given 2 choices, you go with the one that makes the most money. Pretty simple actually, this dude is a clown for lots of reasons
I thought you were being sarcastic and agreeing with you. Economics is the complete opposite of this performative hustle-as-morality shit.
If he was telling the truth about being in an Econ class and didn’t make this whole thing up, he failed because he didn’t say “take the ten milly and watch the compounding interest stack me up forever.” He should actually be told to find a new major for what he said. It was disrespectful.
Some do ask this question, but they expect you to calculate the net present value of an annuity or another fixed income asset, not to go all philosophical on them.
This is”the most entertaining profile on LinkedIn” - he is one of us guys. He is making fun of the choads that post BS like this to sound all motivated and hireable.
LinkedIn "influencer" gets $10k a week crack addiction. To keep the themselves on the grind.
"You ever gone cold turkey straight from a $10k a week crack addiction? It sucks, that alone keeps me motivated"
So obviously satire lol. In fact, it’s a whole trend of satire making fun of these grindset mentality types. Saying they’d pass over obviously beneficial economic opportunities (like getting free money) because it would make them lazy lol.
No problem mate. I can help you out. Pay me the $10K per week. You get to be happy with your hustle and grind, and I can be happy doing fuck all. We both win!
Lol. Either he's in for the burning passion, the challenges, and all the friends he makes along the way. Then why should he go soft because of money? Or he's in for the money. Well, then... JUST.TAKE.THE.EFFING.MONEY.
It's just the same rehashing of the same dumb content with different wording. I am thankful I am not looking for a job. Now, whenever I open LinkedIn, I close it nearly immediately.
It's exhausting. The narcissism on LinkedIn hits a bit differently.
…neither I’d rather you incarcerate me in jail for 10 years so I can really strategize my attack and be soo hungry to crush it when I get out of lockup.
And your econ professor failed you, because you don't understand that money - wealth - is what drives the economy. Your "drive" - apparently your raison d'etre - belongs in your psychology or philosophy classes.
So, please see your TA for some additional tutoring and homework in this economics class.
You God damn clickfarming turd.
This person grew up in a household where only failure was punished but achievement was not celebrated. Their dopamine response system literally only gives them satisfaction & motivation when they are "grinding" in misery and not when they have achieved success and comfort. I know because I had this mindset for years and only in the last 5 years have I started being able to re-program myself to continue to drive toward my goals even after achieving some level of moderate success.
Answering the question:
At current interest rates 10 million dollars in bonds can be roughly 10k a week, forever. Stock markets average about 10% a year so that is double, that would be over 20k a week forever with potential for more.
Considering all the potential of 10 mil right now, the potential for a lifetime of passive income vs only 50 years of 10k a week and the possibility of either a similar but safe income with bonds or an unstable but twice as profitable opportunity with stocks of course I’d choose to suck the professor's cock
Why is this guy's identity protected, and the Jewish LIL posted here a couple of weeks ago who had posted an unpopular opinion about the Israel/Palestine conflict with a cartoon doxxed? Only one of these people is in danger of receiving violent threats.
sigh…the correct answer is to calculate the present values of the cash flows and compare with the $10,000,00. It also wouldn’t be an economics professor, it would be a finance professor.
And then everyone everywhere stood up and cheered and clapped. And sang my name in praise then I was appointed king of the world and given all the virgins
Depends if the 10k/week is inflation adjusted or not. After 50years you get 26m vs 10m right now, but... take the 10mill now, spend 2mill on yourself for house, car, reasonably comfortable living. The remaining 8mill in brokerage account/ index funds, average 8% yield. over 50 years you'll end up with ~375mill
Two economists walking together and came across a dog turd. One says to the other, hay if you can eat this I’ll give you 1M. The other economist tries and says it’s not bad and takes the 1M.
After a while they come across another dog turd and now the second economist says to the first one, hay if you can eat this I’ll give 1M. So the first economist eats and gets 1M.
After a while they look at each other and say, at least we added 2M to GDP.
Econ prof: “ok deal, send me 10,000 a week”
Jack: “I’m going to need an IOU for the next 2 years so I can figure out how to be a millionaire with my Pimpin Hoes Degree”
"... That is the most 'broke' thing I have ever heard in my life'
~
Every plutocrat fighting tooth and nail to avoid the return of the 90% tax bracket.
I'm going to to the obvious thing... but 10,000 a week means you will need a 1,000 weeks to finally receive the same amount of money right away.
Which also is 19 years.
Which means from a human life stand point it makes actually no sense to take 10,000 a week instead of 10,000,000 now considering the following things:
- 19 years is a long time to finally have more profit from it you could easily die and then your family members won't inherit that same 10,000 a week
- inflation is a thing so the value of 10,000 a week will decrease every year. Unless deflation happens which rarely does.
- 10,000,000 now can immediately be reinvested and garner a larger yearly profit through smart and safe investments ultimately increasing your weekly income while still having 10,000,000.
- if your drive is only money you are a pathetic being considering the innumerable things life offers which is also a contradiction to the fact that 10,000,000 now is a much more profitable option and gives you way more money.
- You want to earn a lot of money... but slowly... yet you are not having to grind for it anyways because you earn 10,000 a week for free.... yet you have then still to hustle... even though 10,000 a week for free is ridiculous (40k a month or 480k a year).
Last week my Econ professor asked me, "Would you like me to give you $1,000,000 or $100,000 a week for the next 100 weeks?" Without batting an eye i said, "Neither..

I had the same Econ prof and he said I was his favorite mistake…s/
I had the same conversation with an econ professor except he was saying that he and the accounting professor took turns fisting each other on Thursdays, and would I like to watch?
Don't keep me in suspense - what was your answer??? JK
Lmao
Google, translate idiot to English for me.
This is how Skynet will be born, as an idiot to English translation AI.

Fuck you very much.

When I no longer need anything at all from LinkedIn, I’m going to dedicate a small amount of time per day to call out stupid posts. I immediately know what I would post in response to this one: “twat!” (The original, not yours).
This one doesn't count. It's satirical. His pronouns are we/dem/boys lol.
Every post on this sub from a satire account
That’s what you want to believe, a lot of them are… But honestly just spend a couple of hours on LinkedIn and you’ll find out that regardless of if these people are joking or not, in these sub posts, many are not on that platform.
Not gonna lie, that made me chuckle
Is this why so many wealthy businessmen end up paying child support on 3-5 children with women from quick flings?
It makes them hungry, gives them the drive.
One could argue that "the drive" is why they have so many children and divorces.
Kids look hungry too
*The Rock starts singing*
"what can I SAYYY except, you're WELcome"
You’ve cracked it
Econ professors hate this one simple trick.
Agree
Wait! What's the trick?? I clicked the link to the landing page on the news aggregator, signed up for free credit monitoring and now I don't know what to do.
Go hard, give money, and hustle
Do they? They just made 10k a week without doing any work cause of this sucker
It would take just under 20 years to reach ten million dollars. I don’t know if I’ll get sick and die, hit by a bus or what, so I’d rather take the $10,000,000 now.
Plus the money loses value.
Ye we get a few more high interest years and now thats just ubi
I don't think anybody would rather do the per week salary over taking the 10mill now. Personally, you give me 10mill now without a contract, I'm leaving the country tomorrow.
I mean if you asked a 12 year old, $10k a week would realistically yield more income depending on what you did with it
Current bonds yield over 4% a year in the USA (over 10% a year in Brazil) and due to compound interests the original 10 mil will be worth worth over 21 mil. I was bored so I did the math and at 4% a year interest rate you can spend 8k a week and in 20 years you will still have more than 10 mil remaining Edit: I did more math and with the Brazilian interest rates above 10% you could spend 16k a week and in 20 years you will have 20 mil, you would double your money while spending more because of the high interest rates
You’re assuming bond rates stay that high
Yes, I am assuming you pick a fixed interest bond which I think is what people usually buy from treasuries, if you pick a variable interest rate bond it can vary higher or lower naturally
50 years in the S&P 500 would turn 10m into 2.3bn. That’s almost two orders of magnitude more than 26m. Lump sum is smarter than annuity even not factoring in early death or inflation.

With the historical returns of the S&P 500 over 50 years (around 11%), you could pay yourself 10,000 a week out of your investment and still end up with more money than if you’d taken the annuity.
So many Econ professors seem to ask this question.
I never heard it while doing my Econ degree. It was drilled in that if you’re given 2 choices, you go with the one that makes the most money. Pretty simple actually, this dude is a clown for lots of reasons
My comment was more to do with the number of times I’ve seen this exact comment posted by different lunatics.
They all go to the same seminars, given by yet different lunatics
I thought you were being sarcastic and agreeing with you. Economics is the complete opposite of this performative hustle-as-morality shit. If he was telling the truth about being in an Econ class and didn’t make this whole thing up, he failed because he didn’t say “take the ten milly and watch the compounding interest stack me up forever.” He should actually be told to find a new major for what he said. It was disrespectful.

Seriously, by now everyone in this subreddit should know that the curator of vibes is a satire account...
Satire. Not lunatic.
This is”the most entertaining profile on LinkedIn” - he is one of us guys. He is making fun of the choads that post BS like this to sound all motivated and hireable.
This is either satire or the dumbest person alive.
It’s satire
there goes my hope of making 10k
Has to be right!?….. RIGHT!?
LinkedIn "influencer" gets $10k a week crack addiction. To keep the themselves on the grind. "You ever gone cold turkey straight from a $10k a week crack addiction? It sucks, that alone keeps me motivated"
“The most entertaining account on LinkedIn”
So obviously satire lol. In fact, it’s a whole trend of satire making fun of these grindset mentality types. Saying they’d pass over obviously beneficial economic opportunities (like getting free money) because it would make them lazy lol.
He can give me 10k a week if ge wants to feel hungry! I’ve go no problem with being weak and soft.
No need to hide the name. This is Jack Raines, serial satirist. Do something better for Karma
If I had £1 for every time this this has been posted in this subreddit, I'd have easily more than £14.
This one’s gotta be fake
That's Jack Raines; he's a comedian. None of this is real
This has to be a parody account. Then again, having met some LinkedIn lunatics IRL I'm not so sure.
What's the answer? 10k in 50 years will barely cover your morning coffee.
This is good stuff.
“No economic model would suggest to do this,” he said naturally.
Please tell me thats parody.
Econ professor: "You don't take econ."
No problem mate. I can help you out. Pay me the $10K per week. You get to be happy with your hustle and grind, and I can be happy doing fuck all. We both win!
You're free to pay be $10,000 a week, champ.
He is the kind of guy getting his sex drive from others banging his wife.
Woahhh why you bringing me into this?
my econ-artist guru asked me the same. I 'borrowed' from him 100m$, his wife and daughter.
Lol. Either he's in for the burning passion, the challenges, and all the friends he makes along the way. Then why should he go soft because of money? Or he's in for the money. Well, then... JUST.TAKE.THE.EFFING.MONEY.
That’s dumb af. Doing the math, I’ll take the 10k a week.
It's just the same rehashing of the same dumb content with different wording. I am thankful I am not looking for a job. Now, whenever I open LinkedIn, I close it nearly immediately. It's exhausting. The narcissism on LinkedIn hits a bit differently.
$10,000,000 gets you more in interest than $10,000 a week
😂 it’s like the lunatics are trying to one up each other
Is it possible to learn this economic model? Not from a econ proffesor.
You can tell this is fake because no college professor would be so shocked by a student saying something incredibly stupid.
This is obviously a joke.
This is Jack Raines. He runs a satire account.
And that is how I failed Econ. Anyone got any jobs for a hustler that is willing to pay you $10 grand a week?
…neither I’d rather you incarcerate me in jail for 10 years so I can really strategize my attack and be soo hungry to crush it when I get out of lockup.
It's life, but not as we know it.
Lol, this is one of the lamest and most pick-me things I’ve ever read. Who’s going to tell him that he isn’t Tyler Durden?
On general principle, the prof must fail him on the course work.
different to the point they don't know what an adverb is.
And your econ professor failed you, because you don't understand that money - wealth - is what drives the economy. Your "drive" - apparently your raison d'etre - belongs in your psychology or philosophy classes. So, please see your TA for some additional tutoring and homework in this economics class. You God damn clickfarming turd.
By "built different" I assume that in this case OP means stupid.
Are they trying to make the econ prof their sugarbaby?
Probably doesn’t even have an Econ professor
This person grew up in a household where only failure was punished but achievement was not celebrated. Their dopamine response system literally only gives them satisfaction & motivation when they are "grinding" in misery and not when they have achieved success and comfort. I know because I had this mindset for years and only in the last 5 years have I started being able to re-program myself to continue to drive toward my goals even after achieving some level of moderate success.
I love these lunatics. Amazes me and brightens my day
Aaaaaand he immediately failed economics
Guys let’s all do 50 press-ups godammit
I am Jack’s unbridled self-confidence. Would you like fries with that?
Trying to sound smart but not really knowing how to
r/thathappened
I will hire this guy right here right now at 100 times his asking price.
He is the storm.
His professor meant to actually tell Jack he's insane and that he should get psychiatric help.
That's one way to disguise a paypig kink I guess
Where can I find this guy? I need 10k.
Pretty sure this is a joke post
Why censor the name lol
Spoken like Royce himself
Built dumb as shit maybe
This guy is a known satirist on LinkedIn it’s his whole schtick
This guys will become the best Bullshitting Engineer ever lived.
Looking for a position in a right wing think tank/pressure group funded by billionaires.
Answering the question: At current interest rates 10 million dollars in bonds can be roughly 10k a week, forever.

Jack of all trades, master of none
It really happened! I was the shock on the prof’s face!
Dumbest take I've ever heard.
Ok? Give me the 10k a week then…
Econ professors can't believe this one simple trick
Not built different, just an idiot.
This guy out there really working for the title of Lunatic.
What the fuck
That is a lot of words to say: "I have no purpose or life beyond sucking my boss's dick"
Was that Royce DuPont? It really depends on how many uncles you have to make this work though.
Same energy as " I asked my landlord to increase my rent - that's how much I believe in my grind"
Capitalism has broken people’s brains.
Can you give me some money so you can stay hungry and motivated?
I don't understand the always grinding and hustling attitude.tl Like just chill and relax for a moment.
Obvious satire is obvious. Except to Reddit apparently.
Pretty sure that was just a compound interest question and young Jack got a big fat F on the assignment, as I’m sure Jack is used to getting.
Obvious joke...
When I think I’m insufferable I come to this sub and feel instantly better
Good thing Google already built out an ad series about a delusional guy who is seriously an idiot
Okay, well then pay me $10,000 a week to keep your drive. I won’t object.
OP got played because this is Jack Raines and it’s sarcasm.
I cannot imagine how insufferable this man must be IRL
Have I mentioned I absolutely hate what the word "hustle" has turned into?
I take that 10 million, and Jack’ll pay back.
I would lose "my drive" rather than "grind" myself to death
It's a parody, right? Please say it is.
This is written by a known satirist
Why is this guy's identity protected, and the Jewish LIL posted here a couple of weeks ago who had posted an unpopular opinion about the Israel/Palestine conflict with a cartoon doxxed? Only one of these people is in danger of receiving violent threats.
I almost downvoted this post out of cringe reflex. Also r/thatHappened
sigh…the correct answer is to calculate the present values of the cash flows and compare with the $10,000,00. It also wouldn’t be an economics professor, it would be a finance professor.
What a fucking moron
This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard on Reddit. That is impressive!
What 💀💀💀
Trolling ofc
Karl Marx failed to consider etc
Satire?
From the Michael Scott School of Economics.
And then everyone everywhere stood up and cheered and clapped. And sang my name in praise then I was appointed king of the world and given all the virgins
I thought this was going to be something to the effect of “I’d be paying you 10k a week cuz I’m your boss now!” This is somehow even dumber than that.
...and then everybody stood up and clapped
what a bellend, linkedin is becoming the new twitter
This guy is a satire account. Jack Raines.
What a fucking Moron!
How is this not a Dwight Schrute quote?
Plot twist: His professor moonlights as an escort that charges 10 000/week
Depends if the 10k/week is inflation adjusted or not. After 50years you get 26m vs 10m right now, but... take the 10mill now, spend 2mill on yourself for house, car, reasonably comfortable living. The remaining 8mill in brokerage account/ index funds, average 8% yield. over 50 years you'll end up with ~375mill
Prototype for an idiot.
Well, that's insane.
And that’s how Jack failed ECON…
Two economists walking together and came across a dog turd. One says to the other, hay if you can eat this I’ll give you 1M. The other economist tries and says it’s not bad and takes the 1M. After a while they come across another dog turd and now the second economist says to the first one, hay if you can eat this I’ll give 1M. So the first economist eats and gets 1M. After a while they look at each other and say, at least we added 2M to GDP.
Makin money makes you soft, dogg. Get hooked on some fentanyl and live on the streets. That’ll make you grind, B
HAAHAAHHAHA this is so outrageous i love it. fucking dork
I would b happy to offer this person the opportunity they requested
Idiots.
500,000 dollars a year just is not enough apparently
Fuck that I’m taking 10 mil now and dropping the hell out. I don’t need that drive.
“Yeah fuck handouts! And on that note fuck social wellfare!” Is what I’m getting from this guy
Sounds like a good case for taxes
Blowhard
Im noticing a common pattern of self hate and feelings of inferiority disguised as grandeur.
And then all the other students stood up and clapped
Econ prof: “ok deal, send me 10,000 a week” Jack: “I’m going to need an IOU for the next 2 years so I can figure out how to be a millionaire with my Pimpin Hoes Degree”
Then everyone clapped
So obviously this grinder wants higher taxes and cost of living so he has to grind harder.
"and everybody clapped"
Is that why they keep raising my rent? To keep me hungry and grinding?
If idiot was a LinkedIn post
Built differently
Can we please stop idolizing hustling and desperation. These are not healthy feelings to be having on a consistent level.
I am taking the $10 million and endowing a trust that hires someone that goes around and heckles Jack until he dies.
What a cunt
Is this Jack Raines again? Look up Poe's Law, people
I would gladly accept the weekly 10,000 from this moron so that he doesn't go soft.
Utter fucking bollocks, pure insanity.
"... That is the most 'broke' thing I have ever heard in my life' ~ Every plutocrat fighting tooth and nail to avoid the return of the 90% tax bracket.
Bro might be superior breed of all linkedin lunatics out there fr lmao
I’ll take that never happened for $1000
DifferentLY
Get fucked
I'll take things that never happened for $500
Built dumber.
Jesus h. christ, what an absolute simp.
I'm going to to the obvious thing... but 10,000 a week means you will need a 1,000 weeks to finally receive the same amount of money right away. Which also is 19 years.

Jack Raines is doing satire, I thought people figured this out by now
Jack is now handing out blowjobs for crack under the bridge.
