You have a choice - money or long life?
« on: June 10, 2012, 01:27:24 PM »
Let's say you are 20-30 years old.  Someone offers you 50 million dollars, but tells you that you will die a horrific death at 60. The other option is to live a middle-class life, and die peacefully when you are 80.  What would you choose?

I dont know Shiz, death scares the shit out of me. Always has, even as a kid. You know when you fall asleep and it's just nothing. You dont know you're sleeping, there's no inner monologue. You fall asleep then boom, you wake up. Yeah sometimes you dream but that's not what I'm refering to, it's the other nights where it's just black. I picture death that way, black and nothing.  So yeah 50 million is allot but at 30yrs old, another 30yrs will pass in a blink of an eye. I will take the middleclass life homie

Fuck that , I take 80 and middle class over 60 and dead/rich. People are healthier now, and 60 isn't that bad now. Plus, you'd want to see you grand kids.

A peaceful death, thanks.

I mean, what is the horrific death? Having my face eaten and then being decapitated while still alive? Nothing's worth that.

Horrific death aside...


At the moment we may all take the cash purely because we may think 60 is so far away...  but I bet you at 59 you may wish you never did... because you could have another 20-30 years of fun!

I know people in their 60s that still have a great time and do shit they never did when they were younger!

horrific death has to be something pretty nasty im thinkin, like being in the desert dying of thirst and having vultures picking your body a part while your laying in the sand, im pretty sure that would be horrific, to me it would be anyway

This. My parents say this is the most fun they've had, in their 60's. They do what they want and have no other obligations. Personally, death scares me, and I plan on riding this thing out as long as I can.

Some good answers.  The horrific death would be anything slow and painful.  Is it worth having a ton of money for 30 years of your prime?  Would it be the peace of mind that you would live to a nice old age, and die peacefully in your sleep?  Lambo vs. Ford? Mansion vs. 200,000 house?  Endless women vs. one wife?

besides, life from 60-80isnt all that, its that time where you cant even have sex anymore, no hot woman in the world wants anything to do with you and you randomly shit and pee yourself without knowing.


Take a look at Dave Draper or one of the old time, lifelong bodybuilders still working out hard in the gym and then tell me he isn't able to still lay a good fuck on a woman. Please.

I choose option c, live a upper class life and die at the age of 103.

This situation is not practical because most Getbiggers already have 50+ million dollars, and have also reached immortal status.

Don't be outrageous 50 mills a lot of money, I think 2-3 mill is far more accurate. A million dollars ain't what it use to be.
