Assuming I live to 80, I'll take 2 million and die at 70. That 2 mil will make my current life and my children's childhood better. When I'm 70 my son will be 43 with young kids of his own. I'll get to see a lot of cool shit and everyone will have led a slightly better life.

And to the money doesnt buy happiness crowd... You probably have plenty already. You dont hear a lot of broke people with that comment.

If one wants money bad enough they can earn it. Years....you never know how many you have left. To assume you would live to be 90 and at least the last 10 years wouldn't be quality years would be foolish. You might only have a couple left now and then you get cancer or killed in an accident. Gotta keep the years.

Interesting commentary coming from somebody who was handed a business.

I'd pay 1 million to shave a few years off some of your lives

Why are you assuming you're gonna live to like 80 or 90?


That's why I think Dr. Ken's idea is more intriguing (skip ahead vs. lose it at the end).



Of course it was.

It's just you and me, Jaw Breaker - out here on Darrelle Revis' island.

If I knew beforehand I was going to live to be 80, then I'd take 8 mill & enjoy the last 8 years of my life.
