Like if you had awful times ahead with no happiness. Would you just carry on going?

Your future is determined by the choices you make now. So if you saw an awful future ahead, you might choose different things now (different job, spouse, etc.). B ut, after you had done that, would you not think "hang on, perhaps these recent choices are what makes my future awful". So you don't know if your awful future is because you did nothing, or because you did something after seeing your future .... follow my drift. Frankly, I'd only want to know the date of my death in order that I could have a good time and spent all my money right up to them, leaving nothing in the bank afterwards. That's the only information I'd want.

I'm too cheap to pay for something that I can get for free, even if I have to wait to see it for a few years, though I guess if I could avoid having something terrible happen to someone I love I would quit squeaking real quick. If that was the case I would pay all the money I have.
If I saw something I didn't like I would naturally keep it in mind and try to somehow change it. It would have to be something really major. I'd be like the guy on Early Edition or The Christmas Carol..
The way I see it, I will have an eternity to be dead and not feel a thing-good or bad and in the great scheme of things I am just---actually I am not even a miniscule of importance to this Universe, so my life is pretty irrelevant to begin with. I've already been through a lot of very unhappy times and in those times, I decided that life ends very quickly and before you know it you have an expiration date stamped on your body, why bother rushing it along? Just stop and think of where you are on that 100 years at most line---before you know it there will be more years left behind you than there are ahead of you.

the future is not fixed. It depends on decisions made now and later on. So any money paid would be for one of many different possible futures.
Taking this into account, I would be interested in seeing ONE possible future alright. If I see things I don't like, I'll try my best to change things that these things just do not happen.
awful times with no happiness? I'll try my best to discover the cause of the misery, and avoid this from happening in the first place. And yet what I do may create a different future that has a different kind of unhappiness.
IT would simply be too much. (Think of the film, the Butterfly effect, or back to the future)
How much would I pay? Dunno, really. Nothing, I suspect.

I tell you i did rather not see my future cos if i saw a terrible end and maybe have been on a particular problem for some years which had to do with my finances, i then had to borrow a huge amount of money to see my future and it turned out to be horrible what do you think i would do at that moment? is it commit suicide or what it will really be a terrible scene. So i had better continue to hope for the best and workhard, pray and ther will surely be light at the end of the tunnel.
But do you guys know something while viewing your future there can be a happy moment but it might not been shown so what will be shown would be the worst.

I live in the hope that one day all my hard work will pay off and I will be successful and happy. If I were to see into the future and find out I wasn't then I'd lose hope which would be terrible. Therefore I'd rather not find out. Besides, I like surprises!

I'd probably pay rather a lot - I want to know how long this misery is going to last for. I've put up with it for seven years, and I sure can't handle another seven years.
I could then make a better descision about how to proceed with my life, and I'm pretty sure that I'd choose to go out in a ball of fire. Heck, might do that anyway.

Why would you want to know your future? You don't want to know the story and the ending before you go and see a movie. And besides ultimately there is only one future and anything that happens before that inevitability is up to you. Watch the film The Secret http://www.thesecret.tv andy ou will understand how you shape your life and to what degree your future is in your hands.

i dont think i would pay money to see my future, but i would love to know how i am going to die so that i could prepare for it, it is the one thing not many people know how it will happen till it does.

I would not pay to see my future. Just think how boring life would be if you knew what was coming.
