How many suicidal people would ctb if they were given one billion dollars in cash?

[Forever Sleep]

Think I'd still have suicidal ideation but I'd be far less likely to go through with it if I had that amount of money (unless I developed debilitating health issues).

Whilst I hate the idea of greed and the filthy rich, having money would take the pressure off having to suceed. I'm a creative freelancer with terrible business sense and I'm honestly not making ends meet. My work is what keeps me going but at the same time, I know I'm pretty much failing at it in terms of making a living. I utterly dread the time I will need to get some shit job again to pay the bills.

Plus, it would be so nice to be able to help out my friends and family. Money may not buy happiness but the lack of it can certainly cause stress and misery.

money won't solve my reasons for being suicidal. I would probably just leave it on my bed and let my family decide what to do with it. like a last sorry/thank you/gift for them.

I would open a vet shop pay him for N. Rest of the money half to charity half to family n friends.

I'd hold off for a while to do creative things and be financially stable, but I don't think it would change my end goal. It might delay it for a good while, at the least.

Money doesn't cure depression. I've just inherited a lot - its caused more problems than it solved. I want out now!

My first thought was "it would be a lot easier to ctb with that kind of money". I don't know what I'd do or if it would really change anything for me, but before I read the text part of the post my knee jerk reaction was that it would be easier to die if you had that much money readily available. I'd definitely at least want to set up how it would be redistributed. Make sure the majority of it goes to charity and the rest can be enough for the people I care about to not have to be scared of financial instability.

A related question is: for how much money would a person postpone his suicide and for how long?

I think many suicide cases cannot be reversed by money, such as illness, trauma. But there are also many due to debt, long term and short term financial difficulties. Instead of paying NGOs, having more suicide hotlines, workshops and hiring prolifers to say it will get better, would public money better spent on giving money directly to suicidal people via some kind of universal basic income?

I am 100% not smart enough to even know what to do with 1 billion dollars for one. Also, it wouldn't give the ability to obtain the things I genuine want in life or need to fix myself. It wouldn't provide me with a loving partner, an actual friend, normal brain chemistry, erase my traumas, or make me into a productive and skilled person... I would be rich and completely unqualified to deal with it. Then, I would be stressed and feel burdened by having that much money, and have to figure out some way to productively utilize it before I kill myself inevitably anyway. Not a win for me personally.

I'd postpone my CTB plan and finally be able to buy a dream house of my own in nature, far away from people. I'd grow my own food and have peace of mind at last. Only when I'm too old and weak to live on my own would I CTB.

 

[JinZhin]

I'd definitely postpone, as not having money and living with lot of financial stress since early childhood is one of the things that definitely contributed to me ending up this way.

There are probably many things money could never fix, and after a while, I'd be sure to obtain some very peaceful means of suicide and give most of the money away.

I'd give money to charity and then ctb
