Would You Rather live as...............

Stiffler2

Would You Rather live as 80 years as a very poor person or 40 years as a rich person.

Poor - we're talking slums poor, hard to find the next meal etc...

or

Rich - we're talking Bill Gates / Warren Buffet Rich where you can afford anything

At the end of either the 40 or 80 years depending on which one you take you're dead after your times up.

So which one would you choose and why ?

For me it would be the 40 years as a super rich person coz I like the monies.
For others I'm sure Life is more important than money.

So what would you choose and why ??

As long as im happy i couldnt give a shit if im rich or poor.

Seachmall

When you say "poor" can I still collect the Dole for those 80 years?

LordSutch

You really need a less extreme option in the middle.

floutingmaxims

Why would anyone possibly want to endure 80 years of that sort of poverty?

HalloweenJack

Forty years, rich as ****, never have to work, just have fun for forty years. That'd be the best for me.

Will I Amnt

Depends if I'm guaranteed to live the 80 years.
Can I jump out of planes with no parachute??can I stay underwater for hours on end??can I chop off my head and walk around with it under my arm??
We need more info.
Wouldn't want to pick 80 years and be killed by a bus after 40,that would be a kick in the rocks.

seantorious

No thanks, I'll have the salad please

LK_Dave

I'm 40 now so if I could have the next 40 as super rich, ta very much. Going to live it up like a pig in sh**

Sykk

Neither... How about live a normal life and die at an old age...?

AngryBollix

No - we're talking slums poor, no dole in slums ( I think )
You have to fend for yourself but you get an extra 40 years of life

You can't do any of that stuff. But you are guaranteed to get the 80 years out of life if you choose that option.

if however you decide to jump out of a plane you will die just like in normal life
but only if it's self inflicted like suicide or jumping out of a plane or cutting your head off :rolleyes:

with the 80 years option you won't get randomly run over in a car after 50 years for example.

I think the poll results might be slightly different if you substituted the word "as" with "for".

an extra 40 years with no proper food or healthcare etc sounds unlikely

Gandalph

The only creature that matches the 2nd option in the poll is a crocodile, so yes I choose to be a crocodile

ScumLord

Why would anyone want to be 80? Super rich, dead at 40, is a pretty good deal, all the fun and you don't have to suffer the decline.

sbsquarepants

I'm gonna go with the 80 years option.
I'm closing in on 38 as it is and i don't feel in anyway ready to pop my clogs!

minidazzler

40 years....POOR

I would rather live 100 years as a rich person. A few billion quid would do nicely.

PhlegmyMoses

I don't know, I reckon I could do both in my lifespan. With advances in modern medicine, I reckon I could live to 225, 250 easily.

Dravokivich

40 years rich please.

Also, don't have to be selfish and just spend it on enjoying myself. If I'm going to be as rich as I like, that would mean I'd be able to help out the poor... well... except those who chose 80 years poor :cool:

Couldn't I just live like The Highlander, you know; He got ages out of his body by staying in the same dingy apartment.

As as the film says, 'Who wants to live forever'
