Discussion Would your ctb plans changed if u got 1 million dollars?

[Graytaichi]

I wouldnt. Im 40+ having tons of money doesnt change the quality of life. age is priceless.

 

[CommitSudoku]

I mean it definitely would, I could afford better methods, or at least could afford the ability to bribe people so any methods went better.

 

[AnestheticVoid]

Not gonna lie. I'm 29 so 1 million would give me some hope. I'd probably ctb eventually tho.

 

[Jojo81]

My family and I will live happily with that money

 

[waitingforrest]

I would give all the money away. I will make me feel more at peace that some people I know will be financially stable. But leave enough money for me to buy a rope. Okay... that got depressing.

Or maybe I could just superglue the money in random spots in public. Or turn it all into coins and melt it all together to make one big coin.

 

[Belljar]

I'd still have my trauma so no. But I might spend it drinking myself to death on the beach.

 

[ClownMe]

No amount of money would make me happy or make me want to actually live life, admittedly i would rather be rich than poor, but ultimately id still be depressed.

 

[Al Cappella]

Yes. It would probably delay it long enough that I needn't bother by the end. Although a million these days isn't much. You certainly couldn't splurge. But ya, I'd go back to writing, maybe painting, making stuff…

 

[Looooser]

It would definitely delay it. I wouldn't be homeless anymore so that would help. And if I could invest in something I loved that made me money, then I might be able to keep the demons at bay for a while. There are a few places I'd still love to visit before the bus comes

 

[MIAmartian]

No, I'd probably do a few of the things I wanted to do that I cant afford after I wrote my will then off to Mexico I go

 

[JinZhin]

Now that I think about it, even 1% of that sum would change my life drastically and set me free from a good portion of my anxiety, at least partially, I could be able to focus on something else in my life, such as studying/watching at clouds all day/making pointless art while being more carefree, at least for a while...

This is due to the fact I have some deep trauma related to financial insecurity and I'm not great at making money + I am from a secluded area in a relatively poor country

But I feel like no matter what amount of money, I would still want to die eventually, and that would make things easier as I could access more methods that I can now.

So yeah, maybe(?)

 

[Kristicide]

Yes

 

[downndone2]

I do think it would. I'm almost 44 and have money but not enough to wall away from my house and just start a new life like I want to somewhere else. Between my heartache, loss, trauma, etc there is also all the repairs, packing, cleaning, figuring out what to sell/keep, selling my house.. and it blows. A million dollars would allow me to wall away, move where I want, and pay people to do it all while I would hopefully find some happiness again. And hopefully enough left over to start a business or do something to keep my kind off everything that has happened

 

[Masada]

I do not think my plans would change however I think it would feel good to financially support some people in my life with that money.
I would also be able to live like a king for a while before I CTB. [Kind of plan on doing that anyways but it wouldn't be as limited as it is now for me.]

 

[summers]

Unfortunately, $1 million is nowhere near enough to really change anything for me. I would stick with my plan and just leave the money to one person. Only thing that would change is I wouldn't work between now and when I plan to ctb later this year.

 

[justtiredofit]

I thought about what would happen if I won the big lotto just the other day. Answer is, the reasons for CTB would still be there and the money wouldn't make a difference. The money might delay it while I collect the winnings and figure out who to give it to, but ultimately I would CTB.

 

[juraviel]

it changes your quality of life drastically, you can't see it because you're used to it. if it makes no difference, give it to the victims of the war in ukraine. i bet you won't do that though. doesn't mean you can't be miserable with money you certainly can. but think how much life would be worse if you had no money to feed your family. THEN you'd really be in pain.

 

[corvoscuro]

No because my problem arises from health issues.

 

[finishLana]

I would definitely live at my fullest. Traveling, exploring the world, feeling financially secure without work stress and stuff. Money is the anthem of success so before we go out what's your address

 

[y0dha]

Yes I would have probably enough money to be healed for some part so it would be bearable, maybe enjoyable.

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

Yes would most certainly delay them, or I would spend 3/4s on it on property and become a dreaded landlord at least giving me a comfortable income I guess.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

One million dollars is hardly even enough to fully buy a small house in most parts of California how tf would that paltry amount even be enough to satisfy my greed.

Even if I was a trillionaire I'd still eventually get bored of my riches and start wanting things money can't buy whether it's technology that doesn't exist or a 100% approval rating while being rich.

Basically even if I'm given enough money to make me no longer want to CTB, people are soon going to wish I had CTB'd especially when I've gained the wealth to actually carry out my horrible thoughts.

 

[enau]

no.I dont care for money, money doesnt erase trauma, violence pain, doesnt give you a good family for beginning with life, oesn't buy time.

 

[lili]

I think even less than one million would solve a lot of my problems right now. Any kind of money to be honest as my situation deals a lot with money. However, that is only a temporary solution. Its inevitable for problems to arise, and if there is no emotional fortitude to deal with them, money won't help. With my mental health struggles, I wonder how much further I can survive in life even if I had money.

 

[Beer]

Not in the slightest, I'd just let the money rot in the bank

 

[FuneralCry]

No, in my case nothing would ever make me want to live. I want nothing to do with life and I simply prefer the sound of non existence. Money cannot fix many problems anyway, it cannot stop suffering. I do not want to struggle for decades and I want to escape old age more than anything. Death is what I want, to me it sounds so peaceful to never experience anything ever again.

 

[Al_stargate]

No, any amount of money couldn't help me, having too much will often end up ruining a person, I can attest to that.

 

[Lostandlooking]

Yes it would. Though I don't know how much of it I would actually be able to spend, with taxes and all. I enjoy fantasizing about this. I reckon with this kind of money I could live an independent and secluded life. And I wouldn't have to worry about bills too much. Maybe I could buy a small house but I'm not sure. The most important thing is to arrange things in such a way that I never would have to deal with work or disability or benefits ever again. There would still be past trauma. But I would have lots more control over possible future trauma. If I got very sick, like if I got dementia I would still ctb. Or I would choose to ctb before I got very old and dependent on other people.

I'm sorry to hear that it wouldn't make any difference for so many people. Still, for me this also remains a fantasy.

 

[Huntfish34]

I would like to think it would delay my CTB, but... I'm an addict / alcoholic to the core so I might very well end up with an accidental OD or something from blowing some of the cash on copious amounts of booze, various substances, dope ... Who knows.

 

[member1]

No.
