Life v. money

Would you cut 10 years off your life right now for $500K right now? $750K? $1M?

Maybe easier since I'm single... I have a good life - great family, great friends. Make decent money.

$500K - ???
$750K - probably
$1M - yes

Not sure I want to live to be 100. You need to be in damn good shape to be happy that old.

Not pondering anything - just came to mind with athletes and how their lives are shortened (Puckett).

probably. with the money you can atleast enjoy life. with the extra 10 years, you aren't guaranteed to be happy or whatnot

I would do 10 for a million.

If I was going to lose the next 10 years of my life (20-30) I wouldn't, but the end of my life who gives a crap.

Would you guys still do it if you knew you only had 15 years left to live? I don't think I would.
