WHAT IN THE EVERY LOVER gently caress IS TONTINE

a group of people pay into an investment, the investment pays out dividends or a set withdrawal rate until your death like an annuity, but it increases as the other people die

yeah kinda. so if you, me, and lampey got into a tontine, we'd all get a our dividends. but if lampey (sorry lampey) died, we'd split his dividends between us

ofc this is illegal because it's a big huge motivation to murder each other
