Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

I could not gain $50.00 in interest so I think waiting is the best option... :-)

Hey - Robyn- that's the smart answer. You didn't look at the end of the story before deciding did you:-)

These days -- we'd best take it when they give it me thinks! :-)Thanks for stopping by - research is fun when one can share it:-)

Hi Ellen, long time no comment :-)

I think this is a somewhat thin basis for deciding on intelligence. There are more perfectly good reasons for taking the money now (and I am not just rationalizing either).

How can I know what happens in a years time? A bird in the hand is better than...

I may actually be able to do better than adding 50% even if most people probably wouldn't

I may need it now and have little need for it later or may not even be able to enjoy it later.

Thats what I think of spontaneously, but I think that is all perfectly good reasons for taking the $100 today rather than waiting for the $150.

As for intelligent people being more risk willing do I think that is a matter of how you define risk. I would think that it is only true as long as it can be calculated somehow whereas they should be more risk adverse when the risk is impossible to judge.
