No, I def would not. The number one reason why I want to ctb is because I have nothing. I am tired of depending on people, who sometimes mistreat me when they want to.

I think I'd largely have the same problems. I'd have a larger, nicer house in less of a craphole area, so being in a nicer environment might help but otherwise, I'd still have the same struggles.

Also, I think a lot of people on here who struggle with drug or alcohol addiction would probably be dead already if money were no object.

Yeah sometimes money will further aggravate such issues even if having a lot of money will provide some level of comfort.

No doubt that financial issues are a large reason for ctb on here, but even if I were to become filthy rich, I'd still ctb, there's some things money can do and one of them isn't going to help me.

Money would do nothing but help me disappear from those around me quicker and ctb at a faster pace as I would now have the funds to get things I need. In the end, money wouldn't change a thing for me but make my process faster and easier. That's how much I'm done with this life.

I'm not rich, but I'm comfortably off and I have no money worries. My attitudes are exactly the same as they were when I was a student with no money. They would be the same if I was a billionaire.

I thought with money my problems would be solved but I have a friend who is very rich (several mansions, nice car, went to one of the best high schools in the country, etc.) and he's passively suicidal. Only thing stopping him from doing it is his girlfriend and mom.

I probably wouldn't CTB because I would be able to life in Japan (hopefully, I'm not 100% sure of the status of getting into Japan and having citizenship and if COVID has still had lasting effects for being able to move there) it's been my dream since I was very little. I love the culture of Japan, I love the Konbinis, the shrines and temples, the festivals, the architecture of the buildings, the consideration that the people there show. I love the manga cafes, the antique shops, the food, the onsens, the cicadas. I've never been able to experience these things but I think it would definitely make me want to live, and is the only thing that would for sure make me not ctb. But unfortunately I'm poor and it will probably be years and years until I could achieve that dream. I would need a job for a long time and I have an incredibly hard time working and functioning in the real world. I don't think I have nearly enough strength or willpower to last that long as much as I wish I did

I'm not filthy rich but guess I come from a pretty well-off family. I don't want to age past 25, and being rich won't stop aging or getting old. It's not like money can stop or turn back time. I also don't want to have to enter the workforce or become a real adult, I guess I'm scared of it. I don't want to live out adulthood, middle age, or old age, I'd rather prefer to go to death directly. I don't want to have to work for a living because I just feel like my freedom and autonomy would be taken away from me. I don't want to become another slave to capitalism and society. I'm scared of entering the real world. Maybe I was too sheltered growing upā€¦

It would prolong my stay here but ultimately, money won't stop you getting old or ill. I don't think even living in comfort would make me feel ok about that.

Honestly idk. I wouldn't have any financial problems anymore and could fulfill some of my dreams but I would still be lonely and I still wouldn't be able to get rid of the pain from all the bad things that happened plus I'm afraid of getting older. So I guess I would keep going for a couple more years and probably ctb eventually, just later than I am currently planning to.

I was born poor and am now very wealthy. It doesn't matter at all though with my health failing. If I was flat broke but with normal health for someone my age I wouldn't ctb, but in my situation now ctb is a must.

Nope, I am not rich but I have a very good job and have a good salary with no debts etc.

Plenty of rich and famous people kill themselves.

Depression is not cured by money and depression can afflict anyone.

My family is low-income so no, I'm not rich. If I were rich I would still ctb. Hell, I'd probably end up doing it a bit sooner since I'd have a shit ton of money to give away to my family and that old guy before I die, along with some I could give to charity and some I could use to travel down to Peru to buy some N. It'd be great. I'd also be able to visit and spend some time with that old guy for a bit before I die. I think being rich would make ctbing just a whole lot more easier.

It's funny because I basically can go anywhere but I hate the idea of traveling (or being outside, actually)

I would like to say that it would help me, but I honestly don't know for sure. You can be rich and still have a lot of problems that make you want to end your life, Robin Williams comes to mind for what I'm talking about.

Fuck yeah. I think having basically unlimited resources would improve everything. I would do some of the things that have always been on my mind, like biking across the desert and travelling the world. And it would free me from having to work so I would have so much time to just heal and think. And I would be free from having to be around people I don't like. I'm sure I'd be able to distract myself more easily if I still had to.

Becoming rich enough to retire early would only postpone my plans. Instead of ctbing this year I'd just do it when I turned 50

What does it matter? The reality is that my brain is broken and no amount of anything could make it ok. Happiness is more valuable than anything monetary. Frankly this world is obsessed with empty material possessions. Having enough is enough. More is never necessary

I would probably keep living if I was rich, just because I can do all the things I enjoy with financial freedom. It wouldn't erase the reasons for ending my life but at least I'd have more reason to continue only doing what I deem worthy.

Japan sucks, I have been living there, I speak the language and understand the culture and mentality very well. Living there will make you want to ctb even more so. Is one of the most depressed societies in the world, like Korea and their neighbours. They just live to work and are educated to behave like robots, and showing any sign of emotions or weaknesses will make you automatically useless and even more isolated from people. Mental health is also not a thing there, they will say you are weak and a loser.
