Discussion If you press the button you get $50K but in exchange you become unable to CTB for the next year

[bitofftoomuch]

any attempt you make will fail regardless of method, think divine intervention. but after 365 days you go back to normal and if you've saved any money you can keep it.

i know personally i would press it.

 

[ladylazarus4]

Yeah, I'd press it for sure. I don't really plan on CTBing in the next year. I'm pretty much just keeping these methods in my back pocket for now.

edit: also, can you press the button again after the first year?

 

[Just_Another_Person]

I would press without thinking twice. All that money could make me veeeeeeeeeeery happy. Btw, this would only work once in life or you can press the button again after a year has passed?

I mean, I could take multiple holidays around south America to try and source N with 50k, id be able to try and bribe my way to it. Worth a shot anyways.

 

[LXR515]

I think I could proboably do enough with the 50k in one year to make it worthwhile and just CTB the next year

 

[LapseInTime]

Y - E - S. It's my chance to plan it better! Maybe I could even get N. I'd do it.

 

[soledad.virgen]

i have a date set already but I'd delay it and take the 50k to help get a better method, spend a little on a trip, and leave some behind for my loved ones.

Ok so I expected a majority to say yes but not such an overwhelming majority, lol dialectical materialism stays winning

i actually just made another poll based on this concept/a similar concept lol. i have long wondered, would most people still ctb if they had material security? I think not, personally.

pay off dignitas, travel modestly, see some sights, get some nice solitary time alone, visit with a few friends i'm usually not well enough to bother, then the year is up and it's time to go to sleep. it would be perfect.

 

[alienfreak]

No. That money would change very little for me and it is scary to think i could be forced to live even if my pain level increases substantially

 

[Ondine0000ff]

Sadly I don't think any amount of money would make me happy, I would always have this sick feeling that nothing will ever go right, spoiling the whole thing for me.

 

[HereTomorrow]

Ultimately, my goal is to build enough funds to safely move across the country to start over and escape my past. $ 50k will significantly aid me in that journey.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

$50k only lasts like two months in California. I'd need at least $500k to even start to consider this offer.

 

[DefinitelyReady]

You already made a thread asking this ludicrous question...

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No, this money wouldn't even do anything for me

 

[Reflection]

I would, the money on its own may not do shit but it is life changing where I live so I could use it to drastically improve my quality of life, and that could help fix my situation.

I just want to not exist, I have no interest in suffering in this existence and never have done. In my case the only relief could ever lie in non-existence, I only hope to never exist again, something as cruel, futile and torturous as existence is deeply undesirable to me and just feels like a terrible mistake, the thought of being trapped in this existence with no limit as to how much agony I can feel just to be tortured by old age is horrific to me personally, I'd never wish for that.
