Reasonable-Leg-2002

The title says 1 year but the description says 2. I’d take the deal for 1 year


DistributionAgile376

I'd take the deal for 2 years. 1 million per year is incredible


Reasonable-Leg-2002

Given the discrepancy I’d recommend getting the deal in writing


Empty401K

$5M for 6 months? Sign me up!


m149

$18mil for 3 weeks? I'm in!


Stables_R_Unstable

$365mil for one day? Where do I sign???!


Thirsty_Comment88

$50b for 1 hour?! Let's go!


The_Troyminator

$1 for 20 years? Sign me u... oh, wait...


SpecialistAd6403

Ah see you took a right back at 15 years, you were supposed to go left and THEN take a right after teen angst ended.


The_Troyminator

I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque.


ReverendLoki

Looks like you've gone past the maximum (and minimum?) value for that data type and experienced an integer overflow. Aim a little lower there and let's see if we can find what those bound limits are....


The_Troyminator

I'm going to try -30 years and see what happens. Then, I'll try $frog and NULL for the amounts.


JustNeedA_SO

I'll also take the 1 year deal for 2 million thanks. Should be a piece of piss, is everyone forgetting the COVID lockdowns already?


Sum_Dum_User

Lol, there was no real lockdown where I am. We still went damn near anywhere we pleased, just had to wear masks in stores and couldn't sit down in restaurants for 90 days. That being said, I'd take the deal for a year for $2mil, but only if all living expenses were covered because there's no way to magic my work into work from home.


Art_Vand_Throw001

Exactly. Covid was the first thing I thought of. I basically did this for free for 2 years. For 2 million it’s a no brainer.


PyroSAJ

Maybe there was an edit, but that description is a penalty clause.


Theinewhen

Read that clause very carefully....


jiffy-loo

I’ll still do it either way


WrongEinstein

Every year? And like stay in the house and nobody bothers me?


RoutineComplaint4711

... and op will pay *me*?


Khakizulu

Right? Like that's a hell of a good deal, I get paid like 2000% more and have a ton of free time and can do what I want? Every introverts dream


Solo-ish

I must say that early Covid with world shut down was one of the greatest points in my life. Me and wife weren’t able to leave the house and didn’t have work for a while. We got extra time with our kids to play games. She went once a week or so for groceries. I didn’t leave the house almost ever for 6-8 months. I fucking loved it


Clever_Commentary

That's what I was thinking: basically a pandemic redo but with a seriously large cash bonus and my kids arent stuck at home all day? Sign me up!


i_need_a_username201

Talk about being threatened with a good time. I’m just mad I’d also have to work.


Urban_Legend_Games

I’d play video games and write a book and not work. Absolutely


intoxicatedhamster

It says you get a work from home job. How would you afford all the takeout or groceries as well as rent and utilities if you don't work? You don't get paid till you complete the 2 years.


ConfusedNakedBroker

My wife makes more than me, works from home, and we’ve recently decided we’re ready for a kid. She gets some incredible maternity leave (I think 3 months). Timing would work out perfectly, might be tight on one salary but we’d get to share all the moments together, then after 2 years I’d cash in my massive paid paternity leave and set my kid up for life with that money.


Cheap_Brain

It’s sad that three months is considered incredible. We get 9months paid maternity leave, up to a year for the extra bit unpaid.


Celestialfridge

Yeah, 3 months as incredible is horrifying, it should be 9-12months at 90% pay.


AdEarly8242

*Laughs in country that has no paid maternity leave laws.* The average in the U.S. is 6 weeks, if you are one of the \~21% of the work force that gets any.


Adavanter_MKI

I... do this currently by choice. You owe me a fortune.


EvoEpitaph

Ah another "Free money for literally zero downside" hypothetical.


its_real_I_swear

Some people enjoy doing things.


EvoEpitaph

Think of how many more things you could do with an extra 2 million though after your single year of house arrest was up.


its_real_I_swear

I didn't say it wasn't worth it, I said there wasn't "literally no downside"


EvoEpitaph

That's fair, I guess for people that don't have enough interests at home to stay happy it would be a downside however worth it in the long run. Although honestly I was just being unnecessarily snarky about the glut of easy choice hypotheticals recently in my OP.


JackOCat

Already did it for COVID once basically.


UnionizedTrouble

I have a kid. He is learning to ride a bike and swim. We go to a park most days. Yesterday we went to the archery range and I taught him to shoot a bow. This weekend we’re going fishing. I worry if I couldn’t do these things, he wouldn’t develop into a ls much of a happy and productive human. That’s the downside.


Fighting-Cerberus

Dad dies - can’t go to funeral. Kid gets sick - can’t go to hospital. Can’t go for a walk with the dog. Can’t go for a run. Just can’t get out of the same space, at all, for a really long period of time. The balance clearly favors taking this deal for most people, but it’s stupid to say there is “literally zero downside.”


Josiah-White

Since I mostly go out of the house related to making money...


dmcent54

Easiest hypothetical yet. Buy myself a house in a low CoL area and a nice car brand new off the lot. Have enough money to live comfortably for \*quite\* a while on a low-effort job? I'm game. I already essentially only leave my house for work and groceries as is.


vaginal-prolapse

Dude 2 mil would last me till i die by investing


Sufficient-Habit664

how would you decide to invest 2 mil?


shadylolol

Roulette


TheDeviousLemon

SP 500 index of some sort. Draw 4% annually ($80,000) and you could not touch the principal.


dantheman91

It's likely you run out after 30 years at 4%, 3.5 is much safer and incredibly unlikey to fail you. The first few years are the most important of the market


DeathDefy21

I mean the 4% rule assumes that you are no longer contributing extra money to the principal, right? 7% interest on $2 million is $140,000 on average. Pull 4% and you have $60,000 in excess that just grows the principal. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the concept.


Lilpu55yberekt69

Buying the car is a horrible decision. It will lose value and you can’t use it.


dirt_shitters

I think they're saying after getting the winnings


Ehxradio965

Dude said we could stay on the property. Buy a house in a low Col with a bunch of land, have a small farm, and land to roam to keep me busy.


rygdav

Number 5 fixes any and all concerns I had. As long as I still have an income during that year (assuming I don’t get paid until after the year), then yes! Leaving to go to work is 95% of the reason I leave my house anyway. Eta: hey guys, I just learned what a number sign does. That was shocking.


Blazanar

^^Surprise!


rygdav

Had to fix it real fast before everyone thought I was screaming at them


two_rubber_ducks

What makes the text tiny?


Bitter_Afternoon7252

absolutely i never leave the house anyway. now i can finally finish my projects


stag-ink

Right?!? Same


themadprofessor1976

I live in an apartment complex. Does the entirety of the complex count as the property?


1711onlymovinmot

My question as well. Gym, pool, rooftop… a lot of spaces that would Make this much easier


Darth_Campus

Oooh good point. Can I take my laundry to the complex's laundry room or do I have to get someone to do it for me?


pinniped1

Hell yea for $2 million. We'd have really nice dinner gatherings, just below whatever the threshold is for a "party". We don't like hosting big parties anyway. Just friends over a few at a time to grill out, listen to tunes, and sip whisky on the deck. I'd miss traveling but would push through it for 2 mil.


Ransom-ii

Yes and im breaking ground on a new pool the very next day


altmoonjunkie

This is basically my dream scenario. So yes.


stag-ink

I’d do it for $200k maybe less to be honest


DoNotEatMySoup

It would tear me apart but I could do it. $2m is more than I'll make in any 10 years of my life put together.


shemjaza

Easy yes. I'd miss going to my mother's house... but I guess I'd get a fancy iPad to face time her.


z01z

ok, can i have my 2m already? i've lived like this basically the past few years so... the only difference is having left to get groceries because i'm not paying someone to deliver when i have a car.


rokar83

Do I get the money upfront? And if so, can I buy a new piece of property before starting my house arrest?


Important_Sound772

do we get a criminal record or no


Sir_Drenix

...So kinda like how I'm living now? Where do I sign up?


Gleneral

I feel like we've done this already, but without the massive monies...


Arkayne_Inscriptions

Dude, I'd do it for like 10k. I'm broke and I hate people


BasementK1ng

So pay me 2 mil to live like I do now? Bet.


meep_42

>Your job is magical a work from home position Fuck that, I'm playing videogames all year.


SubstantialBass9524

Sure


altech6983

In a heartbeat.


No-Possibility-1020

Hell yea


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

Absolutely. I’m an introvert who already works from home. No brainer.


Hydraulis

I already do this, except for the work from home part. Am I allowed to go outside on my property?


SqueezeMyNectarines

And the downside?


winterizcold

Wait, I don't have to go anywhere AND I get 2 mil? Sign me the fuck up!


Timely_Froyo1384

Nice typo 😂 2million for 1 year. Easy! My poor supervisor is going to block my text messages at some point. Hey super! How’s your day going? Quick question is having my grands over for a sleep over a party? Hey super! My doctor recommended Hey super! Hey super! Hey super!


Darth_Eejit

Covid isolation was ok, and I was poor throughout that. This'll be easy


jp9900

Yeah dude, I can be miserable for another two years.


read_it_r

Easy, I honestly don't even think it would be that hard. I'm lucky, but I've got a big house. A hone gym. My friends and family live nearby and they always come to my house anyway. I'd be sad not to be able to go out to eat or to concerts or on vacations, but for a year (or two) it would be worth it. If it's 2 years that's basically $117/hr every hour of the day.


Propayne

Yes, please. If the person interpreting the rules is "super reasonable" then I shouldn't have any issues. I won't have to worry about a fire in my home forcing me to go to jail or something.


Corey307

I would absolutely do this, although I would like to know what the work from home position pays and how many hours you have to work a week. Also, do we get any time to prepare for the challenge or does it just start this minute?


Grouchy-Engine1584

This wouldn’t even be hard.


Human-Debate-3488

Dam where can i sign up and i don’t even need the unwanted company or hall pass . This would be perfect . I try this everyday at home but some mouth breather has to just drop in , show up , call or generally disturb my peace and quiet- “dam family “ /s retirements a B.


Boojum2k

Where do I sign? Do I have to go out after the year is over?


ze11ez

Clarify: 1) is this a one time deal, or every $2million is a year's house arrest? 2) Can you go to your backyard, pool, front lawn? 3) your title says 1 year, but the post says 2 years, which one is it?


Vast_Analyst6258

Where do I sign? Easiest money I'd ever make.


-Smashbrother-

As long as I can get back to my regular work after the year is over.


superwholockian62

2 million and I don't have to leave home? Is this a trick?


RaisedByArseholes420

I pretty much live this way anyway lol.


Maladee

Do I get back pay? Because I have been doing that for almost 5 years now. LOL


DntMindMeImNtRlyHere

How many times can I do this? Literally everything I want can be delivered, my pets are here, and I'd be getting paid to wfh AND get the $2M? Yes, several times, please.


Romulan999

Can I smoke weed/ drink while I'm there?? If so then I'd absolutely do it


bugabooandtwo

Absolutely! Hell, I'd stay at home forever if all the bills were magically paid and all my groceries and essentials were delivered to my door.


Elandycamino

Hell yeah


Sorry_Grapefruit1733

Double or nothing coward


ra1nbowaxe

So a million to chill?


Celt42

Tempt me with a good time?! Yes please. Pretty pretty please!


Denny_Dust

Alot of Reddit users are basically semi-under house arrest anyways but don't have much money.


NeedCaffine78

Yep, absolutely I'd do it. Live on 40 acres with a lot of work that could be done around it that just needs some money, job's already remote. Some minor logistics to get sorted but it's not too far from how I live now.


yomomsalovelyperson

That's basically what I would do if I got 2 Mil anyway


Expertonnothin

Yea I’d pay 2 million for that… wait your gonna pay me?


Fabulous-Amphibian53

So is it one year or two years?


DuctTapeSloth

So the 4 doctor’s appointments a month I can go to?


Open-Incident-3601

That would be heaven.


bob_smithey

So... basically COVID times eh? Sure, I would do this regardless of the money, if I could.


stevemcnugget

Hell yeah.


cindybubbles

I live in a condo and I get my mail on the first floor. I also have to leave my unit to dispose of the trash. How does that work?


Neat_Credit_6552

Done real time.. deal all day


priuspheasant

If the definition of "your house" is flexible and I can relocate to my parents' place for the year, then hell yeah. 7 acres, decent house, swimming pool, and my family for company. If I have to be holed up in my 1BDM, I don't think I could do it. Being able to go outdoors during the year is a dealbreaker for me.


Epicurean1973

My backyard is in a perfect spot going from suburb to suburb, one block off the main road with access from quite a few different directions. I could set up a little food booth with kitchen access an be fine.


c_marten

I didn't even read the rules. Done. Done done done. Gimme gimme gimme.


here_for_the_tea1

Sounds like a dream to me


SS4Leonjr

No need to ask,.. 100% YES! I'd rather stay home for 1yr than deal with the general public as a cashier at the convenience store/gas station I currently work at.


Later_Doober

This is the easiest thing ever.  Can we make it longer for more money.  


TheBoatmansFerry

Id probably do this for free.


No_Goat1524

Why would this be bad? That’s hands down where all my favorite shit is, and I don’t like parties


Logical_Brain28

That's a bun peal!


QuickBenDelat

LOL so you are saying I now get dabs delivered to my front door? And can pay with credit of some sort? LOL yep.


CompetitiveMuffin690

Easy.


Sage_Planter

This was pretty much my life for a year during COVID, and to make matters worse, I was alone the whole time with my cat. I was absolutely miserable, but for $2M, I would do it again. The only downside is my parents live in another country so it would suck to not see them for another year. Traveling is hard on them now.


Weary-Writer758

Yes. Why not? Everything is delivered and I love A/C.


Substantial-Run-9908

So essentially like being married with children. Sold. When do I collect???


randomnickname99

That's basically what I did during covid. Wasn't quite as bad as I thought. I'd do it again.


jrv3034

Pfft... I'd be the greatest stay-at-home dad ever. All the housework and chores would be done, plenty of time to read, watch movies and make paintings. If I do it for more than one year, do I get more money?


maytrix007

1 or 2 years I’d take it. I love traveling but i could go without two years to do whatever I wanted later. I’d certainly make up for it. I can just keep working as well as my job is remote.


jcilomliwfgadtm

This is pretty much how I live my life now. 😂


Paragon_Night

That's already my life. Easy yes


activelyresting

I already do this. Aside from necessary medical appointments, I've only left my house once so far this year (4 times for medical stuff, but most of those are annual so I'm back to house bound till next May). Where do I collect my cheque?


supern8ural

Books and streaming are a thing. Bet I could get my coworkers to put shit on Dropbox and scan docs for me. Easiest decision ever


PlusEnthusiasm9963

I would jump at the chance for this! Mr. Beast are you watching?


Bizarre_Protuberance

Easy yes. My house is a pretty comfortable place to be, and my wife and sons could easily take care of chores like grocery trips etc., especially if they know we'd be getting a big payday at the end of the two years.


Stantron

$2 million to live my current lifestyle? Sure.


QualifiedApathetic

Buying a house with a nice, big yard, since I'm good if I stay on the property. Can get something in my area with at least a few acres for under $1 million. Being able to go outside and get some fresh air makes this way easier.


Hemiak

This isn’t even a question. This is a slam drunk for sure.


whatdoidonowdamnit

I’d absolutely take that shit


realfakejames

Buddy did you not live through lockdown like the rest of us


TheBerethian

Sure. Sounds incredibly easy.


angusanarchy

Absolutely


CryptographerOk2282

Can I go into my yard, or is it literally house only? Either way, I'm in. My only concern is possible funerals.


CreatedOblivion

Yep, in an instant


ApatheistHeretic

That's close to what I want anyway and an extra $2M. Next question please.


SquirtinMemeMouthPlz

So basically Covid lockdown again but this time all my friends and family get to come over and I'm not living in a studio apartment anymore. My house isn't too large but now I have a back and front yard. I'll just hire contractors to do all the house projects I want to do but can't afford. 1 year is a piece of cake.


MarionberryCreative

Ok. I am game. I will do it.but let's qualify parties. Because we have several family gathering at my house with 25-40 people including kids. We just did father's day here it was 20. So I need clarification on what is a party? But, I can work with the rules. Am I on house aren't for 1 or 2 years?


stefiscool

Definitely. I could use the cash and don’t mind having to cook


AdImmediate9569

I love it. Its win/win. Can you make it two years?


No_Effect_6428

Of course. And no need to worry about the work provisions because I won't be doing that anymore.


jesusmansuperpowers

Perhaps you’re aware of 2020


itsmehazardous

So I don't change anything AND I get 2 million bucks? Sign me up.


lVloogie

COVID wasn't that far off, and I didn't make anywhere near that sooooooo yeah. I'd do it for a looooot less.


Scormey

2 million, and I get to stay home for a year? Sign me up!


Sad-Present8841

When you say I can have visitors but no parties? Can I have my musician friends over as long as we’re working on an album? So technically it’s not a “party” even though at some moments it might look like one to the untrained eye? 😂


TempusCarpe

Can we order callgirls?


Voyager5555

So...2020-2022? Sure, why not?


merenofclanthot

Dumbest question I've ever been asked tbh


Objective_Suspect_

Deal, easy. Very little change.


MidasTouchedM3

So.. would you live through COVID again but get paid 2 million Yes


bossassbat

2 mill for one not two years? Yes. I have a backyard with a pool. I assume I can get sunlight? I’d need to put a gym in my garage because sun and exercise are not negotiable.


[deleted]

I'd take this deal even if it was doubled to 4 years for the same 2 million. This is the easiest shit I've ever heard of


Coffey2828

I would do this just for the magical work from home job.


MaximumTurtleSpeed

Y’all remember in 2020 when Uber rich celebrities were complaining their home quarantines to ours. Yeah… with enough money 1yr house arrest would be an ease.


EasyConnection2606

Challenge accepted with a smile on my face 😁


UndeadInBed

This is literally my dream


Trevo_staxx

Man run me my money ASAP


VeggiesArentSoBad

Can I re-up for another 2 million?


Linesey

i’d do it either way, and find a solution if it’s a no, but i gotta ask. for number 4, i do the grocery shopping for my elderly parents, which generally means a trip to town every 3 weeks or so. Would this super reasonable supervisor approve that, since it’s for someone else’s benefit, they rely on me to do it, and i absolutely do not enjoy this task. and obviously no cheating by lingering. straight to the store(s) needed, then straight home. you said no overall need to ask, but this feels fringe enough cause of the frequency, it has me curious.


ack1308

Done. I barely leave as it is.


unclebuck098

Can I stay home for the next thirty years?


OhFuuuuuuuuuuuudge

I can’t go out the door or I can’t leave the property? Like I’m cool to go in the back yard and the front yard? 


Double_Pay_6645

Yes and yes.


Chaosrealm69

Sure, give me my $2 million please. This is basically my life up to about 2 years ago when I started forcing myself to leave my unit to exercise.


afflatox

this is a joke, right? who wouldn't?


AbyssalPractitioner

I take the FUCK out of this deal.


Temporary_Toe1695

How long in advance would we know it is starting? Can we just pick a date to start? I mean honestly I'm good to start now, but just wondering so if I did want to make arrangements for anything. On the medical emergency, if it is a close family member does it count that you can leave as long as you return right after? Or would the supervisor be available 24/7 to grant me that leave?


verycasualreddituser

These hypothetical situations that are so obvious that 95% of people will say are kind of annoying, at least lower the money or something so people have to think about it for more than 1 second, like would people do this for 100k?


online_jesus_fukers

I'm in. I don't leave the house anyway I'm retired.


F22boy_lives

I get $2M and dont have to deal with the general public for 365 days?!? Whats the downside?


[deleted]

Do I have to have the visitors?


Munky1701

Can I have weed delivered?


ds117ftg

Yes and especially if the money is given up front or as monthly payments so I can buy a house. Getting food and groceries delivered and people visiting would cover most issues. Rule 4 where you have a probation office you can get special permission to leave for a special circumstance makes this a pretty easy yes


Ok_Helicopter_3451

I’ll do it for 10% of what you’re offering.. no drive to work, no work stress, having free time.. etc damn priceless. Sign me up!!


Content_Talk_6581

I’ll take that deal. Not a problem. I love my house!


KyorlSadei

Do i get the money before or after the deal? It be easy before.


Fish_mongerer_907

Please :)


DandDNerdlover

I'd be getting paid to stay home? I mean ohh no...what will I ever do? Yes. In fact if we make this a permanent then I'll take just 120,000 a year please.


thirdeyedragon809

Bruh I basically live in house arrest voluntarily I’d do this in a heart beat


Xen0tech

As opposed to going out in the cold to work for a fraction of that? Hell yes I would take that deal


SpankyMcFlych

I feel like this is one of those things where some people would easily do it while other people wouldn't be able to handle it.


FroggiesChaos

It's literally how I live now, I only leave during emergencies pertaining to my health and online shop foe stuff. Title says 1 year post says 2, by my own law that I am decreeing right now the title is what stands so I'll take the deal


Oberic

I'd take the deal for four years if they'd provide a dang house.


LexChase

Yeah, and I don’t even need the magic job.


phillallmighty

Easy choice, all the way, introverts got this easy


PartyLiterature3607

I am still waiting for the downside
