we have all been in this situation. you are trying to figure out a word or phase, its on the tip of your tongue but you just can't seem to say it. well i'm in this situation. i can not think of this phase, it is to describe the way you measure the benefits of a decision.

normally used in economics. it is describe how much satisfaction you will get immediately.

for instance, say i had to make a decision i could go to college, get qualifications, then go to uni. or get a job straight away, where i'll earn money straight away.

I'll receive something immediately...........? if i chose to get a job first, but i can't figure out what it is called.

This has been bugging me for hours someone please help!
i'll be surprised if you understand what i'm on about and the answer is simple. help!
