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

[Buttlerix]

I would die for sure since it would be a lot easier, guilt wise. Id cover my family financially, pay all my debt, sort everything out.

Money is good to have, but it is not going to change me that way, I guess. Im rotting away each day anyway

 

[throwaway123]

well it would get better for a while but eventually life catches up to you

 

[Varstraben]

With 1 billion dollars, I give all to my family and keep enough to pay a hitman to kill me.

I don't have money problems, and my problems can't be solved by money.

 

[antinatalist123]

I would give it to my family and friends, go to the US, order heroin, and OD.

 

[Deleted member 94]

With a billion dollars you won't have to ctb, ctb will come to you, buy fake doctors reports for dignitas.

 

[Its time its time]

Heck just a fraction - $50,000 will turn my life around.

 

[Lilacmoon]

spend it on n, then give away to those i love/donate to medical research.

 

[EmptyManForever]

Double that amount, and I'd still wish i were dead!

 

[Bauhaus]

Yes, it wouldn't make an iota difference since all the money in the world can't solve my health problems.
And the wry irony is I still wouldn't know how to get access to a gun.
I think I would use the money to found an institute to do research on insomnia, anxiety, depression,...
I know I would be dead long before they find a cure, but at least in some far future it may help people.

On my island euthanasia would be free and without restriction. Everyone can die as they like.

Give this man some money, NOW !

 

[Breadbfra]

I am considered rich in Italy, which is low-middle class in Switzerland, to make an example. I have plenty of savings. My mother built her future without exploiting anyone - all of our workers are treated like family.
I'm still depressed. Severely. But I understand my privilege and how K treatments (very expensive) helped me. I always feeo guilty for being this wealthy. My father is now depressed. My cousin too, wealthier than me.
A billion dollars wouldn't change anything, probably it'd make things worse.

Also, living in Europe I can say a wealthy society sometimes brings depression. North Italy has a 70% higher suicide rate rather than the south

 

[Incorrigible77777]

It depends. I'll first try to cure my depression caused by family bereavement. Will try to find the best therapists on the world to help me. If that's still not curable, I might still CTB some day. That being said, my motivation to CTB is somehow sped up by the fact of lacking money e.g. Because I couldn't go home, I have to live in a small rented house which is unpleasant or in hotel which is quite costly, this in long will bring me into dilemma where I couldn't live on any more. In this way, ending up my life at an early life makes great sense.

 

[Shades of Grey]

If I became a billionaire overnight, it would not fix everything. (Brain would still be broken.) But it would fix enough things that I'd be willing to give life another try... at least until some of the older individuals that would be adversely impacted by my suicide are no longer with us.

It would also change my method of choice. With that kind of money (and the legal protection it buys), I'd spring for N.

 

[Deleted member 19654]

It may improve my life but it wouldn't improve the way I feel about myself. So even with a billion dollars, I'd still be suicidal but at least I'd have access to N.

 

[Ghost2211]

I would gladly continue on with financial comfort. It wouldn't solve health or depression issues, but I could stay alive for others till natural death.

 

[Deleted member 22650]

Relationships would be just a as fake if not more, so nope who cares if you get a nice car or nice house

 

[W3akCr3atur3]

It would delay it by a few years, but at the end I'm sure i'll still ctb. Would've been much easier tho.

 

[Cant Maintain]

I'd immediately start handing it out to the houseless, sending massive venmos to my trans friends trusting them to sort it out and distribute it among the community to those that need it, making massive donations to bail funds for the protests, and to mutual aid programs. Then once I'd burned through it all, I'd CTB.

 

[Alec]

A lot of my problems would get solved. I think at the very least I would have a better chance at living longer.

 

[Hopeindeath!]

I would still want to die.

 

[greebo6]

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 ,because I would still be ugly ,lonely , single and sad . No amount of money can change those basic fundamental problems/issues.
It can buy distractions but after a while they would not be enough.
But that's just me. Everyone is different.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

I could fix my face, I could help people, I could insulate myself from all worries. So yes.

 

[Rue89]

If that money helped me get a medication or treatment that would get rid of my anxiety or make it very manageable, then I might reconsider ctb. Plus I'd be able to afford many things that would allow me to avoid anxiety provoking things.

 

[Misfit72]

No, as I would be in a position of power, political as well as economic.

 

[Lithium]

Absolutely!

 

[Spitfire]

No amount of money would change my mind about wanting to die.

 

[Jojo81]

As soon as I get it in my bank account, me and my family is settled for atleast three or more generations..

 

[Zzzzz]

$100K would be enough for me to give life another chance. That's more money than I can imagine.

 

[rt1989526]

I would kill myself faster

 

[puppy9]

I'll be a god and make sure to be treated like one. hehehe

Seriously, I'll build me self a fortress from the filth that is humanity. Money is my only family now. hahaha

 

[ugly734]

Perhaps, after plastic surgery, I would be handsome. This requires money and a lot of recovery time. People accept and respect pretty people and create hell on earth for the ugly ones. Normal looking also have no problems, but be ugly and you will see what people are capable of.

Even if it didn't help, I could live by the sea, I wouldn't feel pressured to work, food would be delivered to my house every morning - I wouldn't have to communicate with people.

Expensive food, books, games, movies, electronics, sex toys.
