If you were given the power.....
….by God (…or your chosen deity) to snap your fingers and net $100,000 per snap, but the caveat was every snap took a month off of your life….
…would you snap? If so, how many times would you effectively roll the dice knowing a snap could potentially end your life immediately if you unknowingly had less than a month to live? |

I'd not snap. Life is more important than money. Of course this is my life I'm talking about. I don't desperately need the money. Somebody else might be in a different situation.

No snapping for me.

People have done worse than snap, even though this snap takes a month off their life, for money, as you know being a LEO. Look at all the crime and murder that people commit for money.

This is a great question, and very nuanced to answer too quickly.
Sure, time is more precious than money, but so is quality of life more important than length of life. If I knew the last 6 to 12 months were going to be spent with someone else having to wipe my ass, or suffering from an incurable disease, I may be tempted to snap and donate that money to a worthwhile cause that could make a difference for example... My Dad is 93 and still going strong - healthy as can be, lives on his own, does his own shopping, etc. And no one else has to wipe his ass LOL. So for him, snapping wouldn't have been the right choice. I am fortunate in that I don't need the money, but I would like to think I could have helped make a difference now with a few snaps rather than just living in a state I wouldn't want to be in. I think I might snap a few times... |

I'd snap at least once, as there have been many months already where I didn't do anything as interesting as make $100K, and I figure I have plenty of years left to live.

Some people, like terminally ill people, might give all they had for just a little bit more of life. Say a month's worth.

If I knew it would take the last month off my life, I’d snap, because I have a pretty good idea how my health will go, and assuming no other cause brings me to my grave earlier. If it was going to take a good month off, no chance of snapping.

We're all gonna kick the bucket at some point. I do 12 snaps. If I die a year early, oh well. Won't affect me once I'm in the ground.

In fact, what is life if it's not healthy life? What good is a 100-room mansion if you're confined to one room? What good is having a beautiful spouse if you don't want to spend time with them because you feel like crap all the time? Life isn't the point. A healthy life is the point. |
