Would you rather be rich and die young or poor and live long?

[TheReal Kendall]

Heard this on song on the way to work.

You wouldn't be homeless man poor. You would have a home and basically just barely making it. You won't be able to change you're financial situation. You're poor and will always be poor but you have good health, food on the table, clothes(not the best though), and a little house.

or

You would be a billionaire but you would die very young at the age of 28-31. You don't know the exact date or time you'll die.

Which would you choose?

I think most would choose the money and die young.

Do I have any hope of improving my financial position?
Also there is a big difference between 22 and 26

[Qwyjibo]

I think I'd go with poor+long life because 22-26 really isn't long enough to enjoy that money. Up to whatever the age of majority is where you live, all that doesn't mean as much.

[ForeverHeat]

If rich and die at 40, Id choose that. If not, then poor + long life.

[-p.tiddy-]

there are an endless amount of other factors that would play into this decision...

[B-hoop]

Can you work to get rich? I prefer the certainty of having a long life and maybe getting rich, than being rich and knowing you will die extremely young. Would change opinion if i could live until 35 and be rich.

26 is too young.

No. You're poor and will always be poor but you have good health, food on the table, clothes(not the best though), and a little house.



Let's just say if you choose to be rich you'll die between the age of 28-31 but you don't know the exact date or time.

I would be rich then. 28 good years is better to me than what I imagine 90+ years of being poor would be. Maybe I am super spoiled, but I have these horrific thoughts of what being poor would be like, I know I am too soft/weak willed and spoiled to make it (eg. I have trouble drinking tap water).

OP prob digs graves for a living

Lol. Yea you sound really spoiled and I can tell you're not from the country either.

What does this even mean?

[Draz]

Poor and live long. Then again.. Poor isn't truly living so I won't be alive. But, I'd rather live.
