FabSwingers.com forum: £250000 would you take it?

Question

When you turned 18 a man from the government turns up to give you £250000 in cash to do what ever you want with....the catch is...on your 65th birthday a person arrives to inject you to make you painlessly die

Would you take the 1/4 of a million pounds?

It's a difficult one, but probably yes.

Lack of money (mostly due to long term disability) has held me back my entire life. There is so much I wanted to do that I probably will never get to experience. So part of me thinks... yeah, if I could go back, take the money, I'd have an awesome time and with my health issues I'd be lucky to make it much past 65 anyway so it's kind of win-win in that regard.

When I was 18 I would have definitely taken the money. I also have a disability that limits many aspects of my life. I'll never be able to work full time, for example. 250k would have made life much more manageable and I wouldn't have had to claim PIP or UC to top up my low income. I'd be independent and self-sufficient, which would feel amazing.

I was thinking the exact same, live a life full of experiences & die at 65 (which is old age as life expectancy isn't much higher than that) or live like I so now which is 95% of the time at home without it being a lock down & live older than 65! Nah I'll take option 1.

who really wants to be that live long that your fragile & can't do stuff for yourself & you need to be fed & wiped like a baby...no thank you.

At 18 I would have jumped at the offer.

Not because it would have been a huge amount of money that I could blow on shit.

More because at that time in my life I had the opportunity to invest in my future business. I made the investment but it cost me dear, running 3 mortgages with interest rates topping out at 13 to 14%.

With that capital I could have made the investment and funded future growth from profit rather than paying of borrowing.

At 18, 65 is an eternity away and there is no guarantee you’d make it that far anyway. The previous 2 generations of males in my family haven’t made it past 65.

Life isn’t about how long you live, it’s how you live that time you’ve got.

I probably wouldn't use the money wisely anyway and end up with a bunch of hookers off their faces on my sofa, develop a habit and own a Ferrari which I have trouble parking each time I go to Tesco where I realise there's no room for the shopping either.

This absolutely. I grew up below the poverty line and due to my disability, and after having been divorced, I'm there again. I'm fairly content with life: I'm housed, have food, lovely relationships etc, but 250k would have made life much less stressful. I would agree that money doesn't buy happiness, but there is a cut off somewhere. Below a certain amount the stress of trying to make ends meet can cause significant anxiety.

I agree money certainly doesn't make a person happy, but being in a stable financial situation is far far less stressful, so won't be a contributing to anxiety etc.

I'd keep 50k held back to have an ex-special forces bodyguard watch me on the week I turn 65.

That or I'd find some convuluted piece of legalese explaining that I measure my age in Neptune years.

Is it just me or is the painlessly die an added pluss and knowing when. Like others have said live and work to 50 then play for 15 years then go to check out. Even get to say good by to people the day before.

Can I pass on the money and book my jab for 70 Now

my 15yrs self decided life after 40 would be meaningless and I better die after I hit 40.

1 month left to my 40 now and I’m so nervous if karma took that wish seriously

With this in mind yes, my 18yrs old self would definitely took it.

With 250k I’d be dead before 65

"It would have to be a much higher number than that "

It would today, but when I was 18 I'd have probably agreed for less!

"The question is designed to make you think what you could have achieved with that money backing you

No because I couldn't live happily knowing that day is coming and everything i have done will be for nothing

But I can see where your coming from "

but death at 65 or 85 that day is still always coming , why is everything for nothing?

im 34 and would take it now, quit my job and if the rona would kindly f off id go travel the world til it was spent then just get on with the rest of my life making the most of what i could til injection time

i understand why some people think time is more precious, but for me this last year if anything has taught me that nothing but empty time is worthless ... i don’t want the kids, so no grandkids to wait for, i don’t even know if i will meet someone to grow old with (already used up over half that 65 years and its not happened yet), for me its about what makes me happy in the now as i have no idea what tomorrow holds... i would much rather have less time full of enjoyable experiences than an indefinite length of time that feels pretty empty

100% yes lol. I'd rather live a short but better quality life, than a longer but average one. After 65 you're past your peak anyway, live your best life while you're younger. At 18 that money could do so much...

Exactly. You could buy one million Freddos. What else is needed?

At 18 even being 30 seems a lifetime away. I wouldn’t want my life to end at 65, not when you see people in their 80’s still having a good life. I wanna be with my daughter as long as possible. But I dunno what 18 year old me would’ve done, I was even more stupid back then.

"When I was 18 I would have"

This, at 18, being 65 seemed a million years away.

Initially I thought nah but...for a larger amount I may.

Mot sure how much it would take

If you take average wage as 25k then that's only 10 years you would have 47 years to cover so it would need to be at least 1.25 million "

The money is not a wage....its a lump sum...you can still work
