If you win lottery, will you still plan to CBT?

[187]

I'll still consider it, I plan on giving it all away to charitable organizations. Money is truly insignificant to me. Wish I could buy certain things with money, though.

 

[BlendedHeart]

I would ctb at the point where I can't enjoy that money no more.

Yeah, some people would use it to depend on others to help you, but I'm not interested in that.

 

[LunarLight]

If it can't fix my brain, then yes, definitely. It's not a matter of money

 

[4am]

money was never the problem to me, the existence itself is. nothing could change my mind because non-existence is better than existence. but if i randomly became a millionaire, i would just find a fancy way to ctb, like maybe rent a room in luxury skyscraper hotel to jump from

 

[Ironborn]

I'd buy a house with a load of land far away from anyone else.

 

[Ceterum]

no lottery win here, but fairly good financials. It doesnt make much of a difference.

There are reasons why I can't / don't go just yet, but money - money has no role in the decision whether to leave or to stay

 

[davidtorez]

Yeah because you'll still inevitably grow old and be forced to enter old age if you don't die young. Money can't buy or stop time. We're all powerless against time

This is exactly what I think. There's no prevention or cure against old age besides non existence

 

[Eudaimonic]

Yes. It might delay my suicide through a greater capacity for escapism as well as practical solutions to some of my issues, or it might expedite it through consequent access to peaceful and reliable methods. Regardless, seeing as it would not solve the majority of the problems that make me suicidal, I'd almost certainly still CTB.

 

[Alltheywanted]

I guess it would delay my ctb plan but nothing more.

 

[tbroken]

I would use the money to travel and buy a lot of things and maybe CTB way later.

 

[Jorms_McGander]

I am just survive and not living in this world. After the first attempt 10 years ago, I have not been actively try anything for like 9 years. But things are not getting better, even if I try. The job market is so bad and I am likely be unemployed after graduation. I am not getting better I guess. Now I am kinda just dump money on lottery like at least $40 a week. I know it is impractical to win.

This leads to think, if I win by miracle. Will I still do CBT later on? Is all my issue a low self-esteem and lack of achievement and excitement, or no matter how much money I have, I will just decide CBT in 5 years or so.

Do you think if you win like 100 million dollars, will things work out for you?

Yes; I would use the money to acquire something slick like sodium pentobarbital and then I'd go on a really really long hiking trip with the rest.

 

[Dliena]

OFC! I'd really just give away most of the greens to poor folks/children that I think would actually reap the benefits from and the rest can go to other junks etc as well as buy a really nice house far far far away from this shit country and CTB in that nice house! The end.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yes. Money can't guarantee that I won't suffer. The only way I can avoid suffering is by death

 

[Abyssal]

For once I don't know. I can't see a future for myself to I can't predict something like that.

 

[thenamingofcats]

I would say double yes since coming into that kind of money seems to destabilize people that are already vulnerable.

Yes, but I'd delay my CTB day by a few years.

It's called sudden wealth syndrome. Apparently it destroys relationships since everyone starts asking you for money and isolates winners. And then rarely do lotto winners manage their money well. Here's the Wiki page on it but honestly I'm way to lazy to read all that.

[Nikitatos]

The lottery is rigged, but winning would solve many of my problems. If I had won when I was younger, I would have made great contributions to humanity.

It's hard to function with severely negative net worth, no health, no family, and few friends. It's even harder when you scrape together some money, lose 60 pounds, get retrained in a job, and generally bust azz to rebuild your life and some deep state pos crashes it back down.

Money is freedom and access to good health options.

People always say that. Sounds like complete bs to me. If you're the kind of person who fantasizes about doing lines of coke off a stripper's butt, then I guess. For me, it would have helped.

Money has been the main problem my whole life.

 

[untothedepths]

I would get to CTB anyway I want to, so absolutely. The money left over would be donated to a good cause I can verify isn't going to someone's slush fund.

 

[i dont feel real.]

Probably dude. Money doesn't change my point of view of life. Nothing matters and everything turns to 0. Everything will be erased, or at least that is what I think.

 

[beetle]

Yes! If anything, it'd allow me to CTB sooner since then I could fulfill my plan of helping support my family/partner before I pass.

 

[MatrixPrisoner]

No. I would likely still be unhappy with my own life, but could probably achieve enough happiness through all the lives I could change with the money. Some of the well-deserved people in my life. Children around the world that are poor and suffering and brought into this world agaist their will.

 

[juna]

Money can't buy happiness, so yeah I would still ctb, maybe a bit later after having some trips. Money can't fix me.

Eventually I probably would, but I'd do as much good as I could with the money first. I'd probably give most of it away, then take a trip to Switzerland to use one of their suicide pods.

The rotten.com library had a fantastic article about lottery winners. The authors behind those articles were really good and basically guided me through my highschool years lol.

I found it preserved. Yay.

[LXXCH]

yes, but it would prolong it. I would be more happy with the money but money doesn't stop aging and I don't want to grow old

 

[Time4Peace]

Would travel more, and then still remain in pain and loneliness. Thank god for that, coz it will mean my heart doesn't accept consuming as happiness.

 

[Lookingtoflyfree]

If I won a huge amount of money, I'd spend it traveling the world and then maybe CTB but life absolutely changes when you have money. It makes life so much easier and I'd be wildly happy. Not having to work? It's an autistic dream.

If I could travel and never work I would be cured - instantly
