That's why it is always important to maximize your payouts whenever possible. It's not selfish, it's business.
Im not saying I disagree with you, but $2.25 mil now is worth a ton more then $2.25 mil spread out over 45 years. This is based off of the idea that if you invest the money now, you can make a profit off of it. Whereas if you are only given small amounts, you cannot afford to invest, and thus your money can't make you more.
