That's a great hypothetical, but not because it's a no-brainer. I'd have to think long and hard about that choice.

Sure, we have vast amounts of knowledge and entertainment at our fingertips, but the reality is that most of us are spending our days staring at Facestagram and binge watching Netflix.

Having enough money to be able to retire after a couple years and then spending the rest of my life traveling the world and reading every book I can doesn't sound so unenlightened in comparison.
