I would say 10 million. It's enough to live very, very comfortably for the reset of my life, and own a really sweet house. There's one down the road for 3 million I would like to buy. :lolz:

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

It doesn't have to be expensive, but depending on how healthy you want to be it CAN be expensive. For example, if someone went for 10 million, they have enough money to pay for a personal nutritionist Could pay them 50k per year.. Even if you only kept them 20 years, that's 1/10th of the overall money you get!

Not to mention you'd have enough money to buy a home outright, and your own home gym, etc.. I think of it like people going to college. Some people sacrifice time to live better in the long run.

But I voted for 1 million. I make a little over 60k per year now,, giving up one year for a lump sum that would take 15+ years of work to get sounds like a very fair trade to me. I'd be inclined to go for more money if I had the option, but if I was offered 1 mil... bye year.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

I think it is within the rules of this hypothetical that you can put your new found money towards living a healthier, longer life.

If I had 10,000,000 dollars (the price I think I sold a year of my life for) I'd hire a personal trainer, a personal dietitian, and I'd make sure to get daily spa treatments to reduce stress. :D And I'm sure more money means you can buy better doctors and get better surgery, etc.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

If I got $10,000,000 for a year of my life I sure as hell wouldnt use it to try and lengthen my life. Id party hard all the time, maybe make a record to see how many lives I could go through, cause I would just buy a new one when the old one fails. And id spend it on crazy shit, like sky diving and cheetahs, maybe at the same time.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

So you don't want to be overweight. You don't need a personal dietitian to eat healthy. You already know how to, you just need to do it. Same with the personal trainer, just get some more excercise.
And you could reduce stress by not wanting too much (work/entertainment).

Right?

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

I do, I diet and exercise on my own. I should clarify...I want a dietitian that cooks my meals for me. :lol: It would be sweet to have an expert chef whipping up some yummy vegan meals or ultra-nutritious meals. Cooking is a pain in the ass, especially with fresh healthy ingredients.

As for the personal trainer....I've made many personal gains in the realms of working out. I think it would be cool though to have a trainer that could introduce me to new routines and programs, make sure I have good form, and motivate me. There's a reason all the Olympic athletes have trainers, or all the NBA players have trainers, etc. You just can make bigger, better strides when you have someone who is very educated giving you motivation.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

Ok, but would that really add more than a year to your life?

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

In all reality probably.

I would gladly lose a year at the end of my life for a higher quality life. Enough money to invest, have what I want, and never have to worry about that stuff again.

Yeah.

I mean think of all the stuff you could do now, when you're young and could handle doing a lot of things. Travel, party, Invest. Hell I could go to school for the next 10 years, which is honestly something I would love to do given the money. I love school, learning is so much power it's insane.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

I work 50-60 hours per week (and hit the gym an additional 10-12 hours per week), I don't have time to focus hard on eating healthy. I mean, I know how much I'm supposed to eat... I count calories... I eat healthy when I'm at home and in the meals I can control... But a nutritionist could make sure I'm eating 5 well balanced meals per day, every day.

Would that add years to my life? I think so.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

$100,000 would be nice. At my current income level I might settle for $10,000, but would probably eventually regret that.

Already eat ridiculously healthy. Would just need to do some more cardio to strengthen my heart and I'd live forever. Forever!!! Muah hah hah ha! ...Minus one year.

Skipped the discussion. We're talking about dying one year earlier than normally would? There's also the Dollhouse method, where wouldn't live for a year and then regain your consciousness a year older and catch up on what you missed.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

You could probably add 2 or 3 years to your life by not working 50-60 hours per week. That's sick man. :(

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

I agree, though working that much helps me to break some 'bad habits'. I consider working a good use of my time.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

It's hard to work a lot and then just...not.

I had to get my hours cut back at work because of budget cuts so now I have to spend two days at home doing pretty much nothing..it sucks. I just sit around and play video games and eat junk.

And talk to Earl. Who wants to do that all day?

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

You could look for some kind of fun volunteer work. It would also look good on your resumé.

Re: How much would you sell a year of your life for?
 

I agree. I've been doing this (minus the eating junk) for the past 2 months.

At this point, I'd gladly give up a year of my life for full and proper use of my spine. I wouldn't even want the money. :ohreilly:



Well, okay - I'd want the money, too.
