This is for my 45-year old cousin. He is being given an option of taking an immediate annuity pension (it'll begin paying the minute he separates at age 45) of $24,275 per year, no cola, or a lump sum of $304,800 to be rolled over into an IRA.

Finance bros, what's the better option?

I should note that he's not disabled or anything; he's moving out of state. He got a job as a construction foreman making around 60k/year.

Isn't this an easy case of the long term market return on the lump sum with capitalized interest pwning the annuity?

Sure, but capitalized interest on the $300k is going to pwn the annuity over the 10-12 years it takes him to match the initial principal.

I guess it's conceivable that an annuity could eventually overtake the lump sum, particularly if the market is historically bad for many years, but seems unlikely.

Take the 24k and invest it all each year

But realistically he will buy a boat/truck etc

ESTIMATE how long your cousin can expect to life.

Annuities are for people who are likely to outlive the average life expectancy. Healthy people with good genetics should get annuities. Everyone else should get the lump sum.

he'll blow the $300k in a year through a combination of crazy investments and nigger rich purchases

take the $25k annuity because more likely he'll spend it wisely or save a bit each year until inflation eats it away
