(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I was thinking of something cool but not to controversial for a weekly thread. This is a small and fun way of comprehending your's and other's ideologies.

So the first question is simple. Pretend that we all die on our 100th birthday; therefore, we all have the same life span. You meet with this deity/god/spiritual being/flying spaghetti monster/something that can posses these powers. Who tells you he can give your 1 million dollars (my apologies foreigners) per every year you want give up. So to make it more clear say you are 20 years old and you live up to 100; you have 80 years left of your life. Therefore, if you give said thing 10 years of your life you will live until the age of 90 (70 years of living). You will the be 20 years old and have 10 million dollars in cash.

So to the simple version
1 million dollars= 1 year of your life?

my response is in the spoiler

My reasons are pretty idealistic. I would not give up my last years of life for instant gratifications. Although; i would not like to be remembered as a pest/burden to whoever will take care of me, people might need them. You never know what the future might hold and who needs you


If this gets a good vibe i'll do another one next week .

The last years of your life are filled with pain and not knowing whats going on. I would give up 15 years of life.

I could comfortably give up 15-20 years of my life.

25. I'll still be able to enjoy life, be self-sufficient, and live a long life if I died at 75. So many people aren't even lucky enough to live that long.

Either way you are basically waiting to die, whether it be 50, 75, or 100 years. Why not wait rich?

Everyone seems to be saying around 15-25 years of life but what you don't know is you will be 20 years old with that much cash. Some people who win the lottery after a couple of years end up broke, imagine a young person. That instant gratification may not necessarily = smart choices, you might be left a 75 y/o man with nothing at the end. As for me i would probably not give up a year, because life would pretty much be predictable and there would be no achievement. Even with the who win the lottery there is some sort of achievement because you chose to buy the ticket, you chose those numbers. As for this encounter you were just arbitrarily given that chance.
