50 billion/120,000 members... = ~$417,000/member

or.. pay out by post count/time as a member so the trolls with multiple accounts don't get rewarded

If you retire with only $417,000, you'll still have to do quite a bit of planning, especially if you retire young. Last time I calculated how much I needed for retirement, I was getting somewhere in the 900k+ range

That is, unless you're planning on investing that 417,000 for the next 30-40 years. Then that'll be sweet. :Q
