If I already new I would live well into my 80's or 90's, I would give up a year of my life for lifelong financial stability. Never having to worry about bills, rent, mortgage, or loans would be worth losing a year to me.
I'm with Bob, V, I not sure I can think of anything I'd give a year of my life for. Maybe to save a person I love? To cure an incurable person. Save a species that will become extinct otherwise. That might make me feel the exchange was equal. Still not much of a bargain unless you are able to eliminate broad ranges of suffering or do something really special with it. I can do a lot in a year. Every second counts.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I would give up a year for anything.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bob.
