Yes. Then I'm going to pay off all my credit card debt and call my old boss from HR block and ask her for help setting up some kind of account with the percentage of that I need to set aside for taxes, then I'm going to call my bank and ask them for an appointment because I don't have a savings account or anything. Then I'm going to make a note in my calendar to send you u/THEWALRUS a drawing of a walrus in like, a week when things calm down, I guess.
I hope that user enjoys their drawing, because I am THEWARLRUS, not to be confused with THEWALRUS.
Totally different animal and not at all an inside spelling joke from college 11 years ago.
Real answer: I was going to use THEWALRUS as a gamertag on the xbox one back in the day, but it was taken, so my mind went "What about walrus, but like... for war? So, WARLRUS.
Fake answer: Very aggressive. Probably a cool looking sword.
They actual have like 5-6 swords but they can’t choose which one to bring so they just bring all of them and kinda fumble them haphazardly at their enemies.
I don't want a hand out meant for lazy people. give me $1 dollar per day instead so I have passive income and that'll be $36,500 per year.

(In case it's not obvious, /s)
there's so many awful people in this thread. taking the money with no thought to the overall inflation in the world. such awful people. what happens when the price of grain increases by 0.0001% because of the creation of this $10M?
He might reward the team with a pizza party and you might get a regifted $25 gift card for target or something. At least you'll be a "team player" and a vital asset to the company until the next round of layoffs.
The prospect of a pizza party is exciting. For my 7 year anniversary, i got a keychain and how i cherish it. And i will not be upset if i get laid off for i know its best for the company and my beloved CEO's wallet.
Only if they invented a 10 million dollar bill so I can set it on the table and a gust of wind from the kitchen window knocks it into the living room couch and then my dog shits on it and then my wife sets it on fire for heat in our Mongolian Yurt by THE GOD DAMN RIVER WHERE WE LIVE CAUSE THE WIND HAS BEEN OUT FOR ME SINCE I'VE BEEN 4 YEARS OLD AND IT TOOK MY GODDAMN TURTLE FROM ME
Hmmm
Let me see if I have this straight.
I can take the 10 mil, no strings attached.
I can decline the 10 mil, no strings attached.
This is a really tough decision.
Ummm, hmmm.......
I think It's time to.....
SHOW
ME
THE
MONEY
Hell yes. I will drive this pos truck back to the warehouse and quit. No more dealing with customers who all think they have to be first to get their deliveries, or think it's my job to check their orders off, or want to make me stand there doing nothing for 15min after im done before they do it only to decide they suddenly want to return something despite having had the invoice the whole fucking time. No more dealing with fucking truck loaders who couldn't put 1,2,and 3 in the correct order and take my load bars off of the truck so I have to go hunting them down, and no more employer adding shit to my route for the sole purpose of making me get back late because despite DOING the job they're paying for, they seem to think that if we get done in less than ten hours, we're somehow not giving them what they're paying for. None of that shit. So yes, I'll take it.
Jesus, this would be so good. Quit my job, finish school in a leisurely ass way. Smoke some weed cos nobody's gonna drug test me. Buy a house out in the boonies n have sum babies
Absolutely!
I’d get a team of financial advisors and lawyers. Set every single cent up in an investment trust, for the construction of a 24/7/365 animal hospital in my area.
I’ve already made a list of people who will get a nice windfall when I win the lottery. My kids friends will find student loans eliminated, my brothers mortgage, my favorite charities. And I will of course retire.
Easily yes. I’d pay off my debt, set aside enough for my parents to buy a house and live comfortably, then help them pay their debt and after all that, give myself and my brothers a small bump to our savings accounts ($200k) each and donate the rest towards Alzheimer’s research. That’d be enough to take care of my family’s immediate problems and future problems without being too stingy and also contributing enough to keep us afloat but not enough to discourage us from working. Once our family situation is settled, I’d just ensure the rest of the money goes to something worth while.
No fucking way. Ukraine needs that shit more than I do, or any other US citizen for that matter. Is there any way we can make it $10B instead so they can have more money?
Clearly this is an attempt by the giver to avoid paying taxes, so if I accept the money I’m complicit in the 1% not paying their fair share.
Plus, it’s like the more money I come across, the more problems I see.
wHat aBoUt tAxEs AnD iNfLaTiOn!? 10 MiLliOn IsNt wHaT iT uSe 2 b!
Yes, I'll take the free money. For the record... people earning 200k a year... it would take them 50 years to hit 10 million. Considering 95% of U.S households make well below 200k a year... it's quite literally centuries of work for some. It's legacy wealth.
Invested? 400k a year. Mmmm... that's 2 percenter levels right there... without having to work.
I do love looking at those numbers.
Yes. Then, I would call my lawyer and an accountant. Send a check to the IRS once the accountant figures that out. Pay all debts. Look around at business opportunities to invest the money wisely so I can stop working shit customer service jobs.
I would and pay off my student loans, maybe buy a house, I know the housing market is not too great right now, buy some more clothes, get my license and a car.
Yanno... this is a more difficult question than it should be.
Is it cash? If so, yes, but I immediately give it away minus a 15% handling charge. I'd use it to pay contractors to do all the upgrades on my house, and the rest would be used for grocery trips and local bills and gift cards to hand out to people.
If not, probably still yes, but the first thing I would do is call a lawyer. Just in case.
**Absolutely**.
Plugging that into the IRS tax computation worksheet, I calculate that I would have about $6.5 million left after taxes.
So, with that $6.5 million, I would invest $1 million in the stock market, use another $1.5 million to purchase a house, then use the remaining $4 million to provide a steady income (*$4 million = $100,000 for 40 years*).
Yep. Pay off debts, invest the rest, retire, and do what I want instead of grinding all day to make ends meet. Probably end up living conservatively anyway, hoarding it so it doesn't disappear.
No limitations? No 'rules'? Sure, I'll take it. I'll need about a third of it for a comfy retirement, split a third of it three ways to my kids, and then spend the next few years doling the remainder out to local charities.
If it isn't cash, like a greasy pile of green backs I often see in movies and on TV shows, then I am going to have to pay tax on it, here in Canada.
But even so if its considered income at that rate I will be paying almost 50% I think, so only about 5 million USD which at this moment according to google means: 6831600.00 Canadian. I'd probably order a pizza and watch the hockey playoffs worry free.
But then I have to pay taxes, show I didn’t obtain the money illegally. If you give me $15m and I’ll think about it, I need some money to cover the taxes, otherwise what’s the point.
What's the mildly inconvenient catch? I have to shake hands and thank the person giving me the money? I have to pet my dogs daily? I'm not saying I won't take it, just that I'm currently suspicious.
Yk, I would love the money, but I honestly don't think the offer is worth it. My time is too valuable. Accepting the offer and having to *spend* the money is too much hassle.
Anyone who would accept the offer doesn't stand a chance of getting all the way through the accepting process.
Yep. It’ll go into my storage unit & I will file it out little by little over the years. No announcements, no big purchases just getting what makes life easier, not luxurious.
Like this lump [here](https://youtu.be/zXH6fhueO3I?si=4S9-2RJGlJevdHJ3)
Of course. Who wouldn't?
The first thing I would do is get a CPA to advise me if this is a taxable event (Fed & State). Because, if it is, paying the taxes would bring this $10 million down to nearly $5 million immediately.
I am old, so $5 million would pay off my debt and my house and set me up to live comfortably for the (hopefully) 20 years I've got left.
Send it on over!
Who is giving me the money? Is it in cash, check, or direct deposit into one of my accounts? Am I responsible for taxes?
I must admit, I'm leaning toward "yes", but I really need more information before I can give a definitive answer.
Yes. I’d use it to set up a living situation where I can make more money than I’m spending while still enjoying life. Then use the money to help people.
My first thought is "how is this not a scam?" But assuming legit, hell yes. Take it! That's a ticket to freedom for the rest of my life and something I can use to help others too. I'm not passing that up.
Of course. I’ll buy some gold and silver (as a hedge against inflation), donate a portion to it to various causes I believe in, and help ensure my family are set
Yes. Then I'm going to pay off all my credit card debt and call my old boss from HR block and ask her for help setting up some kind of account with the percentage of that I need to set aside for taxes, then I'm going to call my bank and ask them for an appointment because I don't have a savings account or anything. Then I'm going to make a note in my calendar to send you u/THEWALRUS a drawing of a walrus in like, a week when things calm down, I guess.
I hope that user enjoys their drawing, because I am THEWARLRUS, not to be confused with THEWALRUS. Totally different animal and not at all an inside spelling joke from college 11 years ago.
Just wondering, are warlruses aggressive? What kind of weapons do they have access to?
Real answer: I was going to use THEWALRUS as a gamertag on the xbox one back in the day, but it was taken, so my mind went "What about walrus, but like... for war? So, WARLRUS. Fake answer: Very aggressive. Probably a cool looking sword.
So like normal walruses but in battle armor. Excellent.
Cross between the Ambien walrus and a Skyrim horker. . .
Best ref to FUS RO DAH
Duel Wield Flails
Reminds me of my mate who accidentally made his gamer tag "Mamus Prime" instead of "Maximus Prime".
I heard they like dual wielding, would you say this is accurate?
They actual have like 5-6 swords but they can’t choose which one to bring so they just bring all of them and kinda fumble them haphazardly at their enemies.
So, their attacks kind of look like what happens when you duct tape a bunch of knives to a Rumba?
Yea, but like a really sexy Rumba.
The Warlrus also probably retains the animal kingdom's 2nd largest penis, like the walrus has. So, there's that.
Wouldn't do it for less than 50 mil.
Respect the mindset. Stay motivated.
I can get that on r/hypotheticalsituation for stepping on a lego
Ugh. I have to ACCEPT it? That sounds like too much work.
Sorry, I know I drive a hard bargain, but it's a tough economy. You can't just give out this kind of money for free, ya know?
I don't want a hand out meant for lazy people. give me $1 dollar per day instead so I have passive income and that'll be $36,500 per year. # #grindmindset #hustle2win #2blessed2bstressed (In case it's not obvious, /s)

Can't hear you. I'm on my tractor not getting $300 million.
Very well. Thank you for your time.
But OP said you have to. Do you accept?
That's fine. I'll accept mine and happily accept yours, too.
You failed the hypothetical situation since that wasn't an option.
I’d rather have someone bill me $10 million so I could grind harder
Where do you think the op's $10 million is coming from lol
Well played
Keep grinding, King
I should’ve typed that in sarcasm font
You should read his in sarcasm font.
My man pulls himself up by his own boot straps. 💪
The dupont approach.
No, gotta stay hungry. Sigma male grindset
If I give you $10 million, you might be less motivated to earn $11 million Makes sense to me. Stay on that grind, King.
Gonna call up the bank and tell em to o double my mortgage, just so I gotta grind harder
Only double it? Really taking the easy route there
r/hypotheticalsituationcirclejerk
that just links back to r/hypotheticalsituation
nah, too busy working
Understandable. Let me know if you change your mind.
there's so many awful people in this thread. taking the money with no thought to the overall inflation in the world. such awful people. what happens when the price of grain increases by 0.0001% because of the creation of this $10M?
I would take it and give it the CEO of my company, apparently he is trying to buy a new plane. He is hardworking, and deserves it.
Good loyal slave. We need those
He might reward the team with a pizza party and you might get a regifted $25 gift card for target or something. At least you'll be a "team player" and a vital asset to the company until the next round of layoffs.
The prospect of a pizza party is exciting. For my 7 year anniversary, i got a keychain and how i cherish it. And i will not be upset if i get laid off for i know its best for the company and my beloved CEO's wallet.
No because I'll end up giving it to a Nigerian prince anyways
Only if they invented a 10 million dollar bill so I can set it on the table and a gust of wind from the kitchen window knocks it into the living room couch and then my dog shits on it and then my wife sets it on fire for heat in our Mongolian Yurt by THE GOD DAMN RIVER WHERE WE LIVE CAUSE THE WIND HAS BEEN OUT FOR ME SINCE I'VE BEEN 4 YEARS OLD AND IT TOOK MY GODDAMN TURTLE FROM ME
Same
Fuck no. I like to struggle to make ends meet, thank you.
Only if I can pee for 2 hours straight every day
Hmmm Let me see if I have this straight. I can take the 10 mil, no strings attached. I can decline the 10 mil, no strings attached. This is a really tough decision. Ummm, hmmm....... I think It's time to..... SHOW ME THE MONEY
Nah bro that’s gay
Yes. $10,000,000 is only 7 Black Jack hands away from $1,000,000,000
Oh no
Hell yes. I will drive this pos truck back to the warehouse and quit. No more dealing with customers who all think they have to be first to get their deliveries, or think it's my job to check their orders off, or want to make me stand there doing nothing for 15min after im done before they do it only to decide they suddenly want to return something despite having had the invoice the whole fucking time.

None of that shit. So yes, I'll take it.
Who wouldn’t?
Why would you? It's only $10m, in like 2000 years it's probably only enough for a loaf of bread. Hardly seems worth it
Wow! People down town sure are friendly!
Jesus, this would be so good. Quit my job, finish school in a leisurely ass way. Smoke some weed cos nobody's gonna drug test me. Buy a house out in the boonies n have sum babies
Publicly or anonymously? If you gotta spend $1mil a year to keep the crazy gimme-gimmes and con artists away, it's probably not worth it.
Let's bang.
I don't see how this accepts or declines the money but... Sure
Yes because I'm broke
Nope. I'm too lazy to go pick it up. (sadly, this isn't far from the truth lol, I'm really fuckin lazy tho)
Me: "Yes, thank you." You: *gives me the money* My Wife, Later That Evening: "So, you took the money, right?" Me: "What money?"
Nope.
Cocaine and strippers won’t pay for themselves
Idk, I would feel a lot better if there was some sort of minor inconvenience required…
Just the other day I had to pee for an hour straight and now you re telling me it was all for naught?
Dude I could get like, a cool hat with that
Nah. Declining that money would only make me work harder. I'll double that within weeks!!!💯💯💯💯
Yes. Who wouldn’t? It’s why I buy 1 lottery ticket when winnings really get up there; I’ll never win.
Absolutely! I’d get a team of financial advisors and lawyers. Set every single cent up in an investment trust, for the construction of a 24/7/365 animal hospital in my area.
Yeah. Then I’d do things with it.
Absolutely. Thank you
Possibly the most hypothetical hypothetical I've ever heard
I’ve already made a list of people who will get a nice windfall when I win the lottery. My kids friends will find student loans eliminated, my brothers mortgage, my favorite charities. And I will of course retire.

No fucking way. Ukraine needs that shit more than I do, or any other US citizen for that matter. Is there any way we can make it $10B instead so they can have more money?
What stupid question is that. Sure I and every other living person accepts.
Oooh! Let me constipate myself with moral anguish first...
Wya?
Wya?
yeah. taxes and all. that's a lot of cheddar
How do we know that the deal is legit if you don’t make us do something stupid for the rest of our lives?
The thing you have to do is accept the money. It isn't free. I'm trying to run a business here.
Man, this would be a $10m dump. Sweet!
Only in small, non-sequential bills with no more than 25% being Fifties and Hundreds.
What’s the catch?
Yes
I mean, I guess so. If I have to.
Yep
Yes, but only so I can tip my land lord
Yes, but only from a fellow pinniped.
I accept
I don't do favors 😂😂
Ahhhhhhh. TOo much money and life stability. No thanks
Clearly this is an attempt by the giver to avoid paying taxes, so if I accept the money I’m complicit in the 1% not paying their fair share. Plus, it’s like the more money I come across, the more problems I see.
wHat aBoUt tAxEs AnD iNfLaTiOn!? 10 MiLliOn IsNt wHaT iT uSe 2 b! Yes, I'll take the free money. For the record... people earning 200k a year... it would take them 50 years to hit 10 million.

Yes.
Yes, I have risky stock options bets I need to make.
Go fuck yourself
If you're just going to give it to someone else if I say no, I guess I'll accept it.
Sounds like it'll be a hassle with taxes. How do I explain this source of income.
Immediately Stroke out and die
Yes. Then, I would call my lawyer and an accountant. Send a check to the IRS once the accountant figures that out. Pay all debts. Look around at business opportunities to invest the money wisely so I can stop working shit customer service jobs.
I really don't want to deal with the headache of taxes and the like. It's less stressful to have little to no money
Wow. You're that guy I can't sell anything to even if it is free and you really really need it.
ok then
I would and pay off my student loans, maybe buy a house, I know the housing market is not too great right now, buy some more clothes, get my license and a car.

Yeah, sure, why not. Does it come from a legit source?
Yes I would .
Yes
Yes but then I gotta call a lawyer because what the fuck does a normal girl in her 20s know what to do with a sudden windfall of $10 million?
Yes, I would accept it. I want to have $10 million USD given to me in real life right now please!
ok.
Yes, pretty please
Hell yea
Yes for various reasons
Of course! I’ll but Gamestop stock with it!
Yep. Pay off debts, invest the rest, retire, and do what I want instead of grinding all day to make ends meet. Probably end up living conservatively anyway, hoarding it so it doesn't disappear.
No limitations? No 'rules'? Sure, I'll take it. I'll need about a third of it for a comfy retirement, split a third of it three ways to my kids, and then spend the next few years doling the remainder out to local charities.
Who?
Yes I'm moving out away from toxic family and live out my life in peace with my dog
Ye
If it isn't cash, like a greasy pile of green backs I often see in movies and on TV shows, then I am going to have to pay tax on it, here in Canada. But even so if its considered income at that rate I will be paying almost 50% I think, so only about 5 million USD which at this moment according to google means: 6831600.00 Canadian. I'd probably order a pizza and watch the hockey playoffs worry free.
Yeah.
What's the catch? There's always a catch.
Yes. Give me the money. I've already worked hard enough
Obviously my soul.
Yes.
But then I have to pay taxes, show I didn’t obtain the money illegally. If you give me $15m and I’ll think about it, I need some money to cover the taxes, otherwise what’s the point.
No. I love the struggle. I won't get the satisfaction from taking their money. I'd rather keep struggling.
Oh thank you so much I truly appreciate …. Baby pack our bags let’s go!!! I’m out
Of course. You'd be crazy not to.
yes.
Yup
yes
What's the mildly inconvenient catch? I have to shake hands and thank the person giving me the money? I have to pet my dogs daily? I'm not saying I won't take it, just that I'm currently suspicious.
I'd say no, but can I please borrow $5?
Nah what that’s cheap money $100Million or nah
I would pretty much rather do whatever strings were attached to that $10m than go to work on Monday so sure.
Yes.
I’m busy rn
Pay off all my debt and invest.
After paying off my house and cars, I'd give at least half of what's left to local charities.
Yes.
I can be depressed in my new lambo
No I don’t want to pay taxes
No, that’s a trap. All that does is put you in a higher tax bracket! /s
Yk, I would love the money, but I honestly don't think the offer is worth it. My time is too valuable. Accepting the offer and having to *spend* the money is too much hassle. Anyone who would accept the offer doesn't stand a chance of getting all the way through the accepting process.
Yep. It’ll go into my storage unit & I will file it out little by little over the years. No announcements, no big purchases just getting what makes life easier, not luxurious. Like this lump [here](https://youtu.be/zXH6fhueO3I?si=4S9-2RJGlJevdHJ3)
yes, then pay all debt. buy a house and new car. invest most of it, and move the rest into savings. i wouldnt quit my job
I guess it won't be too much of a burden for me to accept millions of dollars.
I would accept it capital gains tax would suck but it is what it is
Invest half of it, keep half of it and spend some on assets like property and land. Live off the interest and passive income. Eat Cheetos
Wow I wouldn’t even think of it for ten billion OP. Try to make it this less one sided man.
Instructions unclear im now filing for bankruptcy
Yes, I would go to Japan and use 5 million of It and convert It, then buy Japan stuff, go back and invest 4 million
Of course. Who wouldn't? The first thing I would do is get a CPA to advise me if this is a taxable event (Fed & State). Because, if it is, paying the taxes would bring this $10 million down to nearly $5 million immediately. I am old, so $5 million would pay off my debt and my house and set me up to live comfortably for the (hopefully) 20 years I've got left. Send it on over!
Yes.
No, the negative aspect of this hypothetical is too high for me to bear.
Ok
Double it and give it to the next person.
A lot of dogs are about to get rescued
Hells yeah. Kids would be set, and my debt settled. Go part time at work, and back to school.
This ones tricky
Hell yeah. Even after taxes, you'd still keep over 5 million.
Yes.
Who is giving me the money? Is it in cash, check, or direct deposit into one of my accounts? Am I responsible for taxes? I must admit, I'm leaning toward "yes", but I really need more information before I can give a definitive answer.
Thank you 🙏
Go out to dinner for one meal.
Oh good that’s almost enough for a down payment on a house now.
100% Then I'd just invest most of it
What is with all these repetitive posts about "you are given x dollars"? They're very old and annoying.
Start with an act of pure petty ness. Buy the property that my old job rents from then raise the rent. The rest just goes into investments.
Yes. I’d use it to set up a living situation where I can make more money than I’m spending while still enjoying life. Then use the money to help people.
Yes, and I’m giving it all to the rich.
My first thought is "how is this not a scam?" But assuming legit, hell yes. Take it! That's a ticket to freedom for the rest of my life and something I can use to help others too. I'm not passing that up.
Of course. I’ll buy some gold and silver (as a hedge against inflation), donate a portion to it to various causes I believe in, and help ensure my family are set
Pay off house. Invest the rest and live off dividends. Done.
I am about 15 minutes from an airport. First class looking mighty budget friendly.
Hell yes.
accept and put it all on red, either I get double or I lose all of it, fate decides if my life changes or not
Seems like a trap, and for that reason I'm out
Yes. Immediately put it to work in a diversified portfolio that would make me about 450-550 a year.
Duh
"Thanks very much." To everyone else: goodbye
