I know it's just a survey question, but why would not invest it? If you got 8% returns on your investments (feasible with equity investments) and didn't get taxed on it because you're using a Roth IRA or something similar, then that 400 years would get reduced to about 40 years from compound interest. Use any retirement calculator and you can see the numbers yourself. At 10% returns, it would take 37 years.

Einstein had that famous quote about compound interest being the greatest wonder of the universe.
