things that money cant buy:
1) Living forever. You can prolong ur life with different aids but the Grim reaper will take you . I am not talking about philosophical view of "living forever in people's hearts and minds or whatever".
2) Good Health: People might counter argue that if you have money , you can hire a chef, a trainer, a physiotherapist etc etc. But you still have to do hard work. No amount of work by chef or trainer will do you any good if you yourself are lazy and dont want to actually do it.
however here is my question for this thread along with Queenies.
Assumption: You make 50000 a year and you are 30 years old. You rent a place, live decently, drive a 20000$ car. you get the picture. You would like to have more but within that income you do fine
How much would the Devil would have to pay you (no annual installments but in a lump sum amount)
1) for you to agree that you die exactly 10 year from now.
2) How much the amount becomes if you are 40 - 50 years old.
3) How much if you are 60?
4) How much if you are 30-50 but you die exactly 5 years from now ?
5) How much if you are 30-50 but you die exactly 1 years from now ?
I know a lot of you might think this is a stupid survey and some might rush to answer
"no amount of money is enough...blah blah". Think carefully and answer. :)
Think of all the things you could do with that money, that you cant making 50000 a year. Will you count your life in years or the amount of fun you could have.
BTW, Sorry Queenie for the thread hijack. I just thought this was contextual to your original post and thought it was an interesting topic to float out there.
btw, my answers.
1) for you to agree that you die exactly 10 year from now.------> $100 million (USD of course...btw at the rate the $ is falling i might have to reconsider hehehe )
2) How much the amount becomes if you are 40 - 50 years old. ------> $40 million
3) How much if you are 60? $5 million
4) How much if you are 30-50 but you die exactly 5 years from now ? $75 million
5) How much if you are 30-50 but you die exactly 1 years from now ? $1 billion.
let the bidding begin :). btw, these numbers are very optimistic naturally, meaning if i am quoted these values, without blinking i say "my a/c number is....wire it !!". I might agree to lower sum but just might need some evaluation :)
