I'm pretty sure the expression means "crazy." And I think that's what you were going for.
I wasn't crazy when I would have made that decision. I was trying to not go hungry/pay rent etc.
Yeah, but not literally crazy. Say the situation was a little different, both amounts are guaranteed but you have to wait 90 days for the larger payment if that's the one you want.
You'd have to be crazy to take $1,000 now when all they have to do is wait 90 days and get $100,000 instead.
Or
No one in their right mind would take $1,000 now when all they have to do is wait 90 days and get $100,000 instead.
No one thinks they are actually crazy. Just dumb. But who knows, maybe they are just that broke that they have to have the $1,000 now.
