Yes, unless THIS was the last year of my life :shocked:

I wonder how many people would trade the last 5 or even 10 years of their lives for a million dollars right now . Wouldn't have to waste all those years at work (unless you are one of those few people who have a job they love) .

I bet with that million dollars you could live a much healthier and relaxed life and end up living a few years longer anyway.....unless your gonna get hit by a car tomorrow.

Oh I thought it was "would you trade the most recent year of your life for a million bucks".
That's a much trickier one. The last 12 months have been the best I've ever had, so I don't know if I would just give up all I've experienced and accomplished in that time for some money.

But the way the question was originally intended? Sure, of course.

Heres an even better one. Would you take a million dollars now in exchange for a year off of the life of whoever (not you) you love most in this world.

If you knew when that 'last year' would be, sounds good..no? A million bucks right now would set me up to be able to do everything I want, make millions more and live the great life. A year off at the end would do fine.

No fucking way. I wouldn't trade a second of a love one's life for a billion dollars. Not because of the time I would miss but because it's not mine to trade. Now, if we could work something out where we split the dough...

Trading money for life is an absolutely disgusting concept...Life being the most sacred thing on this planet and money being the exact opposite.

No I wouldn't, irregardless of my circumstances.

I dig what you're saying but what about quality over quantity? Life spent working all the time and not being able to do the shit you want cause you're broke... it ain't as good, is it?
