    Yeah, imagine when you’re 76, Death turns up and says ‘that’s it, say goodbye to your family and friends’. You’d trade trillions for 22 more years I reckon.

    when you say nothing, do I still have a bike? and what about a little dope? I suppose some premium lager would be too much to ask and I’d have to sup carlsberg green?

    76 is comparatively young nowadays.

    You can’t buy health.

    I s’pose it depends if you are happy. There’s no point living for ages if you are unhappy, however healthy you may be.

    You can’t buy health.

    You can, actually.

    And slowjo – if you are unhappy but alive, there’s always the chance to become happier. Where there’s life, there’s hope.

    96 plus one

    There’s a lot of Whisky that could be drunk of an evening in my slippers for 22 years. And shouting at the telly.

    And telling young folk they don’t know they are born and stuff like that.

    The GFs grandad is 93 and the loss of family and friends is the only thing that gets him down as they are “all gone now, all of them”

    He does ok to be fair, retired to the hills of Alicante, just re passed his driving test. Eats out 5 days a week, is seeing two ladies. Not entirely without problems and drinks too much cheap Whisky as he just doesn’t care anymore life is genuinely too short to worry.

    I think you could like a lot in 74 years… The money option frees up more of your time when you’re younger, think of all the time you spend at work, or on everyday tasks, that you could free up.

    74 and rich please.

    Rich and 74, give it all away till I was just a modest billionaire, then go ride bikes.

    74 for me

    But I’d become a legend first and therefore achieve immortality.

    Give the Trillion away, a week before you snuff it, to the local donkey sanctuary … job done.

    seeing as I’ve already put in a request for a sea kayak & three ladies of the night for my 80th, it wouldn’t seem right to croak at 74

    trillionaire, and dead at 74.

    you’d have much more ‘life’ not bothering with boring chores/just earning money/commuting to a crap job.

    at a very simple level, not working for the next 40 years would save me 80,000 hours, that’s 9 years.

    At what point within those 74 years does one become a trillionaire?

    if I’d lived the life of spanking infinite monies throughout as an international playboy and perhaps even utilizing that power and influence to change the world for the better, I reckon the extra years and inevitable debilitation would be a fair trade off

    If however I received the trillions only in my final year, I might vouch for incontinence and infirmity.

    Too many variables

    Are we going with dirt poor for the full 96 years or just buying the farm penniless
