How many years of your life would you trade...

for a million quid?

by 'trade' i mean to shorten your life, and assuming you don't know how long you're going to live or have any clue as to what your health will be in the future. answers in whole years only. you must decide now as this is your only chance to receive the cash.

 

5 years.

 

Interesting thread.

I'd say 5 years is pretty good. Life may be shorter, but that's an awful lot of great systems' worth of cash there.

 

It depends on my condition as an older gentleman. if I'm fit and healthy it would obviously be less than if I was unfit and dying.

 

1 year, no more.

 

Depends how long I was going to live, have I got enough time to spend it? Am I going to be a dribbling senile old git for a long time? Is there a minimum quantity of years?

 

I would also agree with 5 years.

 

no time at all. not even one single minute.

 

Hmm.. 2 years.

 

A million really isn't that big a sum of money these days, probably 3-4 years for me.

 

What's a single minute when you're a gibbering moron?

 

If you're working for £20 an hour, you've already traded 5 years of your life for £1 Million.

And quite frankly I'm probably trading as much as that on my sedimentary lifestyle, and not making a penny on it

 

Does this question secretly mean "how many years would you spend being an investment banker?"

NONE.

 

Thinking about it? None.

 

None. I'd not feel right about where that money came from, could something important happen in that time I "loose"?

 

lifetime. who knows what you'd miss.

 

That would probably depend on just how loose it became

 

3 years absolute maximum and I'd wager to keep it no higher than 1 or, conversely, all of yours.

 

2 years multiplied by 1/125.
1 million quid is like what 2 million dollars right?

 

A million's bugger all these days. So None.

However, were it to be worth the amount of money I've calculated I'd need to be happy (£1.24bn), then probably 1 year.
