But a stipend seems dumb.

The reason I decided on a stipend is that it sets a precedent. It's predictable. Everyone knows what they get every year and on what date (Jan. 1). You are setting the terms from the get-go.

Perhaps I would actually say $10K the first year, and whatever inflation turns $10K into with each subsequent year. That makes sense. Handing out $10K in 2026 would make Guids mad. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
