CBZ User Opinions: Question 2

[YosemiteSam]

If someone offered you $x dollars per year to subtract a year off your life. Define the value of $x and how many years would you be willing to subtract?

Simple: Would you take $500k a year and subtract 5 years off your life. (ie, for $2.5 million) If yes, would you take $400k a year for for only 4 years ($1.6M)

I'm asking for the lowest value per year you would take and how many years. If you come in and say $1 billion and only one year, that isn't what I'm asking and just say None.

This would depend on how long I was projected to live. If I was going to live till I was 102, take off 5 years at $500,000 each. That would suffice.

This

Plus, you do realize that if you took, say 2-3 million for a year, you may be able to buy extra years based on impoved health, fitness and meds.

Otherwise, it's hard to say. I already make plenty of money and life (assuming it's quality) almost has no dollar value at this point. My best freind of 30 years died recently at the yound age of 49....there is no dollar amount for him I'm sure.
The number would be very high if there was one.

Have you invented something like that Justin Timberlake movie and are doing market research?

It entirely depends to be honest, if I'm going to end up riddled with dementia and not having a clue who I am and a burden on my family you can take however long I'm like that for free, if however I'm succesful, happy and active into my late 80's then I wouldn't want to lose any years.

Do you have a date of death now? No. (well, maybe rofl) I'm asking you NOW. You could say $5M a year and 5 years and drop dead immediately due to dying in a car crash tomorrow.

That's part of the trick. You have no idea when you are going to die.

Do you get the money now or does your family get it when you go?
I'd be willing to do 5 years for $1million a year. That $5 million should make things easier for my wife and kids.....

 

[rkell87]

I'd go 20 years at 25 million a year if I get it now otherwise I'd rather see what I would have missed

 

[dez_for_prez]

2 years for $1 million.

These questions are good. Keep it up.

 

[Faerluna]

None. No amount of money would ever be enough for me to say yes.

My heart stopped beating and my blood pressure bottomed out to 0/0 a couple of weeks ago. Considering that, I might not want to sell even a hour. Be my luck that I would drop dead and owe a refund.

Since I wouldn't know when, I wouldn't take any amount.
The real question should be how many years would Jerry take from his life for another superbowl?

I think Al Davis double crossed the devil himself, may he rest in paradise.

Holy crap. Are you okay?

Half a billion dollars and if you were going to die at 60, you would now die at 40. :laugh2:

20 years is a lot, but I really don't think I want to get really old and decrepit. Definitely not into my 90s and maybe not even 80s. If I did get to my 80s, I would hope I was in great physical (and mental) shape. The second I depend on other people to survive, it's time to let go.

yeah I expect to live to 100, so I'm good with 80 and a half billion, plus I'm 24 now so if I only live until I'm 60 I think I could live a lot better life in 15 years with a half billion than I could in 35 at my current rate

Yeah, I was gone for a for a few seconds, but I haven't had anymore trouble.

this sounds good to me. just like the even million. I would go 5 years max, but would still go with any amount of years under that for 1 mil per.
