If you suddenly got a billion dollars right now without doing anything, would you still want to die?

[Moon Flower]

I wanna say I'd still do it but I'd have a hell of a time before I did

 

[opiatedreamz]

i would imagine it like this: probably have some fun and live for a while. but money doesn't solve unhappiness. it can turn the nicest people bitter or resentful given enough time. i think being rich could also cause a miserable existence. it would not solve problems within yourself, i imagine.

 

[lmon]

I was thinking about how much my suicidal ideation can be attributed to life circumstances. I feel like, I'd still feel pretty miserable but I'd be able to distract myself with whatever the fuck I wanted if i had that kind of money. Drugs, food, luxury items, whatever I wanted. I think I'd be depressed enough to think about dying but not depressed enough to actually go through with it lmao

yes' I would use that money to do a "back alley euthinasia" bc no money can cure my anhedonia/bring pleasure back to me

 

[DetachedDreamer97]

It'd change a lot of things, to the point I'd actually postpone my suicide. The key word is "postpone". First thing I'd do is move the fuck out of here and perhaps travel overseas. Unless, I'm able to gain a bunch of ideas on what to create, but the point is, I'd try living my life to the fullest.

With that in mind, I'll still work on my method.

 

[downndone2]

Everything would be good, a billion or even a million world change everything.

 

[miserableforever]

I'd get surgeries done to get rid of my BDD.
Then I would travel and never be seen again somewhere out there.
Not sure if my anxiety can be helped, but distraction must be nice.

 

[Koppite]

A billion? A few grand would do me, tbh.

 

[FogFilledLife]

I'd have enough money to lose my virginity before dying IG. Probably buy a whole bunch of food too. Maybe I could try eating myself to death, impractical but possible.

Anthony Bourdain was killed because he knew too much and threatened to make it public.
Just one of dozens of people killed by the orders of the Clintons.

And we are talking about a billion dollars here... a billion dollars cures everything.
That's a thousand million.
You can change your blood and live for more than a century (the way all those old fucks do that have billions), you can transplant any part of the body, hell you could be on drugs all the time and never worry about being out of stock.
You could have the best medic care available to humankind.
Those people do not kill themselves.

The Clintons killed him!? WTF are you talking about? Bourdain was dealing with decades of severe depression. We were all sad when he CTB'b but it wasn't surprising and certainly not suspicious. I really feel bad for conspiracy nuts like you, truly. I mean not having/losing the ability to determine truth from nonsense has to be a terrifying way to go through life.

 

[Ashu]

No. There's still enough good left in my life that limitless material resources could still make it livable. But I would mainly want to use them to redress, as much as possible at this point, the tremendous harms and losses I've caused to my wife by marrying her. I still wouldn't love my own life, and I still wouldn't want it to last much longer.

Health is more important than money.

 

[olkf]

I could change my entire life. Hell waking up in another place would be enough.

 

[Darkover]

a billion dollars would just speed up my departure, no amount of money can save you from a brain injury.

 

[Death is beautiful]

Yes.

 

[blvck]

no. then i could quit working and getting up early

 

[bad luck]

It would only delay it.

 

[xrosex]

It wouldn't make much difference to how I am, money would not solve my issues. It would not make me a nicer person, it wouldn't erase my past and my wrong doing or negativity.

 

[Arot]

I want two things (well, I want more but these are the more important things)
1: Love, I want someone who I can trust, who will stay with me no matter what. Someone who I can go out in a date, someone to spend the rest of my life with.
2: A decent job, yes, you work so you can get some money. But what I really wanted is to be useful and to fulfill my family's expectations.
I'm 25 and last three years of my life I met someone and got a bachelor's degree but that person has blocked from all her social media and it's my fault. Also the bachelor's degree is pretty much worthless, no matter what I do, they always choose somebody else. A person with more knowledge, skillful, younger...

 

[SoDead]

For me it would change everything. Life would no longer be too hard.

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

I'd 1) pay off my debts, 2) put aside money for my testamentary expenses, for my mother's care, for my husband to start over, and for my goddaughter's future, and 3) give the rest to charities important to me.

Then I'd kill myself.

I see I responded to this post more than a year ago. My response is even truer now. I'm feeling worse and worse each day. The only thing that is forcing me to stay alive is that I need to take care of my mom and husband. That's it. With a unexpected truckload of money, I can put things in place to ensure they're taken care of and I can leave, truly at peace.

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, for me no matter what happens I would still want to die. Nothing would ever make me want to live. I have no interest in living and in this life money cannot solve all problems, but for me the problem is life itself and the only solution for me is death. I see consciousness as being torture, I just want non existence.

 

[peepo]

Even rich people suicide because you always want something to one up yourself.

I would still take the money and enjoy my life. When everything gets stale I will end it.

 

[roguetrader]

Yes, but blowing a billion dollars in a few months or years would be fun while it lasts!

 

[Feeding Pigeons]

Health is more important than money.

This is absolute wisdom.

 

[Oblivion]

I would spend my life travelling and living an extremely beautiful luxurious life..

 

[Kristicide]

No, I wouldn't. Money is my main reason to ctb.

 

[Oblivion]

No, I wouldn't. Money is my main reason to ctb.

care to share few with me? :(

 

[SuicideM4n]

Yes

 

[Kristicide]

care to share few with me? :(

Sure I don't need a billion to be happy. I could give you half and that'd still be enough for me to live quite well.

 

[allesistgut]

i don't think it would really change anything for me. probably would just make my last week or so more comfortable and ensure i got the end i wanted and allow me to make sure no one would have to pay for any arrangements for my body. it might even make things easier as i could leave the money to the people i love and go knowing they would at least be financially looked after.
