It's just a bad title. Choosing a guaranteed 1M instead of a 50% chance at 25M isn't particularly dumb.
"Dumb" decisions might be playing the lottery, or spending a windfall instead of saving it. But even those dumb decisions have reasonable psychological underpinnings for the person doing them.

My prospects are abysmal, my savings insufficient and I'm still dysfunctional, but I'm better off than I would've been in many ways if I had not decided to give my loved ones (and my mental health) higher priority. I like to think I can make a comeback one day, but it's okay if I don't.
