Do you think maxing out credit cards and taking out payday loans is a good idea before ctb?

If I have the method ready whats stopping me from spending the money on something fun beforehand. Also the inevitable debt could prevent me from chickening out in the final moments.

What would you spend the money on before going?

This same topic has been in my head this week too. I'm thinking about that too…. I think as long there's no one co-sign to your credit card or any debt, then it's fine or else that person would be responsible for your debt after you're gone and if you're single and don't have any "inherits" that is passing down to any family members.

YES. I'd spend the money on manwhores.

Personally, I wouldn't.

My last failed attempt taught me that things might go south and I'd have to deal with that debt!
Also, the government here loves to be annoying so they may make my family give them the money or something like that.

If I do fail it would just snowball with interest and i could always declare bankruptcy if I ever do change my mind (higly unlikely though)

I want both, I'm going out with an outrageous bang! :haha::haha:
Maybe at the end of my days when I decide to ctb, I will go to San Francisco where all the bears are, then I will book a fancy hotel room and order an orgy for delivery.

This thread got real weird real fast. I wouldn't do it. While the choice is your own, I wouldn't want to put extra pressure on yourself to ctb. If you take out all this money and then decide you want to live you dont want to be forced due to the financial situation.

Changing my mind in the last minute would really suck. I guess in practice it's better just use less than 20 percent of my savings to enjoy my last days just in case. I'm thinking about booking a nice hotel for about a week, and it should not cost too much. It's probably impossible to spend too much money in only a couple of days.

For fucks sake if we want people to respect suicide as a socially acceptable life decision maxing out credit cards to pay for manwhores is not going to do any favors for this movement.

Yeah, it's my purposely juvenile jokes that are gonna destroy the reputation of this community, not the overtly misanthropic stuff that some people post on a regular basis... :)) Why shouldn't I stick it to the blood-sucking banks if I have no family members who'd be forced to pay off my debts? :tongue:

I get that your post was a joke, but the OP was serious.

I think this subject touches on the core reason why suicide is taboo though. Suicidal people basically become a sort of 'free-radical', a particle whose behaviour no longer is amenable to statistical patterns of what they might do next. As long as you don't want to die and have 'skin in the game' so to speak, your behaviour is much more predictable. Societies don't like the unpredictability of people with nothing to lose.

That's why normies will always perceive us as a threat & ignore our arguments no matter how rational they are...

I did this when I originally planned on CTBing before something changed my mind.

I spent a couple weeks doing things I'd wanted to try/do leading up to it. The person I was with caught on eventually and that is what lead to me changing my mind at the time... By that time though, I had already put all of my clothes and items I didn't feel could be donated into garbage bags that I threw out periodically during that time... that I later regretted once I made the decision to "try".

It ended up putting me in a worst spot than before. I feel like in case you back out or fail, it's best to have something to fall back on so you don't have to struggle through that on top of everything else.

I think if you're sure, doing things you want to a point is worth it. But I would make sure I'm prepared for all results in the end. From my end, it was my own decision, but the same result/consequence can happen from a failure.

But what if your CTB fails and You get injured pretty bad ( even worse: brain damage, vegetable ) and cannot work any more? What happens with the credit then?

It's simple. Let's say 1000 people in a certain location ctb each year and on average they have 5 "loved ones" . That's 1000 people out of the workforce and thus labour supply reduced by 1000, and 5000 more with reduced productivity due to depression. That is all bad for profits.

I would not as you probably won't CTB ultimately. No point in making matters worse.

I just realized that indulging too much in the last few days can easily shake my resolve to ctb at the last minute. I think this is like wanting to have some extra minutes of nap before getting out of bed, which results in oversleeping. The desire for happiness is what binds us to this world. So this will likely make me keep living but in debt. Might as well just focus on ctb and only use money that is necessary for the completion of it.
