Deal with the devil: live 10 years shorter, for a large sum of money. What's the minimum amount (in USD) you'd be willing to accept, below which you'd decline? You can choose to do whatever you want with the (tax-free) gift, no strings attached.
Money matters less here. More importantly what age am I going down 10 from - 90 or 60?
You are already doing it even without realizing.
Bunch of pheasant in here.
Life wouldn’t worth living if you are miserable. Money makes a lot of life’s miseries go away.
Is the ten years off my current life expectancy, regardless of any lifestyle changes I make? I could probably lose a few years to a more 'fun' lifestyle, which would mean I'd be using that money too
You will end up like "Doctor Faustus".
We are giving up 8+ hours of life every day in exchange for money.
Depends if the devil tells me how long I have. I couldn't care less about chopping off 10 years if I'm told I will live till 110 (in that case $10M should be good), but it's a different story if I will only live till I'm 50 (probably want $1B then).
Giving you the money will put you on a different timeline so you may live to a completely different age and therefore asking that question doesn't matter. I'm guessing even the devil won't have knowledge of the future with absolute (or any reasonable) certainity. Otherwise there would be no point in his/her existing or playing these games since he already knows what's going to happen and can witness it as many times as he/she wants before it happens and there is no point in doing it (a paradox)
True, no matter if I get $10M or $1B, in the end I will probably die by 30 doing too much hookers and blow.
