Choose one: Either you live until you're 100 in perfect health, or you hit the lotto tomorrow but die @ 60?

Answer 1

Hmmm... perfect health meaning I wouldn't have osteoporosis or any kind of illnesses that come with old age... I would choose to live till 100. :)

There is more to happiness than just money. I'm not a materialistic person... and enjoy the simple things in life as well as the relationships I've grown with. :)

Answer 2

At first I thought straight away die at 60 with the lotto win. Then I thought hang on, that only gives me 28 years. What If I have kids. Pretty slack to die on them early. But what's the point of living till 100 if I am that broke now I will probably not have them cause I can't support them financially. Very tricky.
Probably the Lotto, at least the 28 years left will be fantastic ones. Travel, never have to work. Dinner out every night. I am a bit of a hedonist I think, so this option would probably suit me best.

Answer 3

They both sound tempting! Actually I had already planned on living to be a centenarian in perfect health and look like I was 60. But given a choice, and if the lotto were over 2 million dollars after taxes than I'd take the money.

Answer 4

i have self assurance that money does not make the guy extra effective or worse yet how they use it to extra effective those round them. I knew a guy that change right into a multimillionaire at 40 3. He nevertheless drove his previous %. up truck, fixed up his abode and offered new furniture, paid off his wifes 3 year previous Honda accord and nevertheless went to artwork daily in previous t-shirts and jeans. What does that say about the guy and his spouse? perhaps they were penny pinchers? Hiding out? or merely realized that money change into not what made them chuffed inspite of the indisputable fact that the way they could use it to assist others. He paid off a small abode that a gentle couple with a sparkling toddler merely offered many years in the past. He put in a most suitable flower backyard for the widow that lived down the line. He in no way lost who he change into and change into content the way issues were. Why you ought to be something you're literally not because you've the money to be so. Your nevertheless going to the guy you've been earlier the money and also you may want to nevertheless be the guy without the money. So, i might want to quite die penniless and stay with my happiness and the happiness of others quite than the money and alienate all of those I truel cared about.

Answer 5

100

Answer 6

If I knew I would live for 100 years in perfect health I would take it very much more so then any amount of money and only live to 60.

Answer 7

Good question. My first reaction was to say "who would ever select the 60 years?" - and there you have it, once again I have been proven wrong at judging what people think.

For me, if I am in perfect health it means that I have enough money to take good care of myself, live a relaxed life. Since I am also a happy person by nature, it also means that I would be happy until I am 100. I do not need more money than that.

Answer 8

I would much rather live to be 100 years old than have money. Money truly can not make you any happier, no matter how many possessions you gain. Money is like a medicine that treats symptoms but not the disease. The disease is imbalance of community and separation from others. The symptoms are loneliness, boredom, depression, jealousy,anger,envy,lust, and more.
So I would much rather live to be old and around others sharing life together, than be rich and add to the list of symptoms.

Answer 9

Live until i'm 100 in perfect health.

Answer 10

Considering that I'm 30 right now, I could do so much to help people in need in 30 years and $30 million!!! If I live to a healthy 100, how does that help anyone but me? I'd take the 60th birthday and the lottery...
