You have two choices...

Give up a year of your life for a billion dollars or declining and keeping the extra year.

What say you?

 

[BobbyFK]

Just 1 year? I'd do it!

 

[flyingillini]

Very odd question, I can't think of one person in the world that would decline this. Most would do it for a hell of a lot less than that.

A billion dollars! You never know how the last year of your life will be in terms of health and cognitive decline.

Recently, I followed the last months of some people with terminal illnesses who had money and seemingly perfect lives but no health. To be alive yet lacking both health and money is, without a doubt, far worse; it can feel like eternal suffering

The only thing I’d trade a billion dollars for is the ability to go back in time. If I had that choice, of course

This is very sad. Imagine having all the money in the world, but you can't do or eat anything because you're sick.

As we grow older, being healthy is already considered being rich.

Also, I'm going for a billion dollars option. Where can I sign?

 

[djefferis]

Depends - am I dying in a year ?

Wouls suck to opt for the billion and then find out I was going to die exactly in 1 year with the “extra” year I forfeited.

This is the key

Estimating and evaluating how many years you may have left

What if you talk the money and only had 9 months left

poof

You gotta make the question a little more realistic, maybe seven years

 

[patrickbateman]

I'm taking an extra year of life. There is no coming back from death.

No. You're a normal, healthy, and somewhat mentally stable human being.

 

[BMR Genie]

I am taking the billion dollars not for me to keep it, but to make sure my family will have it and not gonna have difficulty dealing with life. If I survived the 1 yr, good. If not, I will be resting peacefully knowing they are already okay. Guess, I can say this because I don't have kids to be worried about if I'm gone.

Yeah, you can tell the OP really strained his brain to think of a tough question for the Forum.

You sure you didn't hijack his account Gold?

This kind of shit is right up your alley for slow posting day material.

 

[Wagerallsports]

I would absolutely roll the dice on 1 year and might go as high as 3

But 7 years?

Nope

Although once you are dead the difference in years you were alive is irrelevant and all the same since you don’t know
