If you got billions of dollars, would you no longer want to ctb?

[RainyDaysGrapefruit]

I'd give it to those who need it, and then use the last few hundreds to off myself.

 

[everosity]

yea id still do it

 

[CogitoMori]

Yes, but it would be easier not to since I'd actually be able to fix some of the inhumanities of the world that I can't do anything about now.

 

[Archness]

I'd quickly spend a portion on hedonism until I was satisfied enough.
Then spend the rest expressing my hatred for this world.

 

[kvorumese]

I imagine it would solve some of my problems at first, but I don't think it'd work out in the long run. It'd obviously be incredible to be able to afford to do anything, but there are some things money can't buy, some problems money can't solve

 

[theolivanderroach]

No amount of money would fix my main issue which is my existence itself.

 

[Wanted Opioid]

Yes. It would resolve almost every single one of my issues.
I never understand people who say otherwise.
From what I've seen in life so far, money does in-fact fix everything.

Like what?

 

[yumeganai]

It's probably make me CTB faster as I'd probably have better access to effective methods

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

No, because billions of euros would not prevent me from aging. But I would buy me the perfect death.

 

[PinkChubbyBunny]

Nah. I'd still go for the bus.
To me money were important when I had someone I could share the joy of spending it with.

 

[easypeasy]

I'm too sick. Money will do nothing

I am also in too much physical pain for money to help, but life would be better in the meantime.

Nah. I'd still go for the bus.

Have you thought about how nice it would be to find someone to share it with? A new person? Who might adore you?

Yes. It would resolve almost every single one of my issues.

Money doesn't fix unbearable physical pain day in day out. Year after year.

 

[Peace2peace]

Unfortunately money can't fix my problems cause its chronic health issue only death can bring succor to me

 

[Jon Arbuckle]

No, It wouldn't change anything. in fact It would make things worse, Id feel worthless having so much money i dont even deserve

 

[outrider567]

Would Still CTB no matter how many $Billions, money won't bring back my dead girlfriend of 35 years

 

[beyondgone]

Na not really, I'd probably just go out like a rockstar, found floating in a pool filled with whiskey or some shit

 

[death_bed221]

Nope. My dad died and left me a shit ton of money. I will ctb and give my mom all of the money. I dont even want to spend it. I feel bad spending money on my self . But I did spend it on sn. So thank you dad

 

[depressedinsomniac]

ironically more money is what destroyed my mental health. Once i had more money i bought weed concentrated and fried my brain by abusing dabs. Up until age 44...i was quite happy. Sadly. Just your basic fat pothead. Then I began dealing with schizophrenia. Boy oh boy. That was rough. Thankfully the shizophrenia stopped once I got clean (yay!) but now I have insomnia. So sadly I only sleep very little. Most nights I just kinda lie in bed with my eyes closed. Truly rough. Money would be nice but alas it is a fantasy. Lately I have thought about spending some of the income I have saved on lotteries or gambling. Part of my decision to ctb is I am facing homelessness eventually. Money can fix many things but some things it cannot fix. It is a strange world in this way.

 

[pariah80]

Yes. Life, in general, is turning into crap. The human race is regressing. Food supplies and water ecosystems are collapsing. Nuclear war is only a matter of when, not if. Repressive governments are being accepted and given power by the masses every day. Earth's climate is becoming more hostile by the minute. Money, while it'll make me comfortable, will not change any of this. I'm not one of the "sit back and watch it all burn" types who just want to be accepted by a fucked-up society. I don't want to be talked out of it. This world is shit, and I'm not going with it.

 

[Forveleth]

The only thing it would change is my CTB method. I could off myself in a more exotic location, which would be nice. However, I am done with life in general and it doesn't matter if I have $1 or $1B.

 

[enditplz]

It would just prolong my life for a couple of years. I'd buy material things and travel more to just cross them off my bucket list, realize none of it fixes my core issue of being lonely and having no family or friends, then off myself on some remote island I bought.

 

[DrinkingInHell]

For me, it's complicated.

On one hand, yes. If I have enough money so I can do whatever I want, pursuing a hobby or a career in something that is interesting to me and I could also share my wealth with the less fortunate, I think that would make my life a lost more survivable and even enjoyable.

However, I'm already damaged by life and I'm not sure if I can recover from the damages caused by life. I will forever feel anger and sadness on lost years, and also, we live in a society. Even if throw money at everyone, someone still eeds to clean toilerts, and caregive the elderly or very wild children. So throwing money at my society doesn't mean no responsibilities for anyone.

What I really need is to live in a different universe where current universe's rules don't apply and there are different rules that are more in favor of its inhabitants.

I'd be very happy to have such insane amounts of money, I mean id get to help people and myself. But I think at the end of the day no material possessions can stop my desire to just end my life. Maybe if I found a girlfriend and an enjoyable career (or I guess if I'm that rich I wouldn't need to work at all.) I may be happy living for longer

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

i posed that question to myself. If i had the winning lottery ticket for 900 million dollars and a chance to swap it for a suicide method that was 99.99999% guaranteed to work today and painless. but i only get one choice buy the gauranteed suicide method or take the money 900 million dollars in cash. and the choice had to be done today.

i would take the suicide method and do it today . here's why.

if i take the money i would lose my chance of Death today . so tomorow i would be alive. i could get a heart attack tomorow and end up like Terry Schiavo did after a heart attack with brain damage kept alive for many years. but i'd be aware of suffering but couldn't move. that torture would last for decades. there's a non-zero chance of this nightmare happening to any sentient animal with a brain.

No Terry Schiavo was not some old person but 26 years old . was kept alive for 15 years by artificial means with massive brain damage

Terri Schiavo case - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

however if i kill myself today . then tormorow I would be dead and ever exist again. since i don't exist then i can't get a heart attach , brain damage nor any suffering . yes i wouldn't have the money but i wouldn't need any money nor miss it if i don't exist. keep in mind that we all will die anyway and not exist after Death forever never exist again. so anything anyone could do from now until Death will vanish and be forgotten as if it never happened. After Death all will be forgotten nothing matters then.

This is only one example and one reason why non-existence is the only safety from harm , from suffering , from problems. non-existence forever is the only perfection. even a billion dollars can't solve all potential problems , tortures , hells possible.
Even a billion dollars can't give meaning to meaninglessness nor to a bag of 30 trillon cells that is a fragile always hungry torture chamber

Also it's ridiculous to think anyone will give you a billion dollars , or any large amount of money . it won't happen. i do have a chance at a suicide method although not as reliable as 99.99% but it's all i can do . i didn't ask to be born and all the problems suffering torture pain. i never wanted this hell.

 

[ShatteredSerenity]

Money wouldn't fix bipolar disorder for me, but it would help me stick around a while longer. I'd buy a house near my children, maybe they'd live with me again. I could try dating again. There are lots of philanthopic projects I have in mind if I had money, so I could stay busy if I could muster the energy.

The big question is whether my depression would lift, and whether I'd flip into a manic episode. I'm a slave to my broken brain, unfortunately. That's something money can't fix.

If life was still torture, I'd try moving to a country where euthanasia is legal for mental health reasons. If euthanasia wasn't approved I would hire someone to obtain N from South America. I'd be able to die at peace knowing I did some good things and I'd be leaving a nice inheritance for my children.

 

[yowai]

I don't know. Most of my worries are about being able to function in this world independently and be able to make money without ruining my psyche so it would definitely solve those issues. I could afford a lot of stuff that I can't right now, maybe would be able to start a tiny business that has to do with creative stuff and handmade things. Try out as many hobbies as possible without worrying that if I didn't like something it was a waste of money to try. I'd pay my partner's ridiculous debt, help animals in shelters etc. Even if I were still suicidal and wanted to die I could at least have something to give my close ones so that they'd feel a little better without me.

 

[nomoredolor]

it would delay Ctb for me that's for sure

I would get the healthcare I need & jaw surgery in case life is more worth living after

Set up my friends and family

Set up investment accounts with gains going to certain charities and causes that benefits minorities

Do some fun stuff that requires $ and travel. Lots of massages and probs try out some drugs

Then likely after all that I would Ctb. I want to help the world be slightly less shitty before I go.

[LostLily]

That money would make me happy in the short-term and allow me to do things like travel. But in the end it still won't heal my self-hatred and numbness regarding life itself.

I probably would just give away the money and ctb anyway

 

[divinemistress36]

I like the idea of being able to buy a private jet then crashing it into the ocean

 

[princessame]

I've had many moments in my life where I felt content with the things I had, or I would have a nice amount of money. Honestly, I have horrible spending habits where I blow all the money. Buying things is my therapy (a horrible one at that). If I don't burn away cash for some material and useless things that make me feel a little happy, what is the point, then?
On top of that, if I had that much money, I'd never have to leave. I could stay away in my home forever. The issue with this is that no matter if I get what I want or not, I still feel miserable.
Rich people have all these grand privileges I could only imagine, but in the end I still wouldn't feel happy. My life is not miserable because of what I lack-- it is miserable because of what is wrong with my head.

 

[snooperdooper]

Yes. Very easy yes. At the very least, it would delay my suicide for another couple years. Money would help distract me from the problems going on in my life. Could buy everything I've ever wanted outside of the obvious things that were designated before I was even born.

 

[xxRoro]

Well it would solve like 70% of my problems
