Hypothetically. A genie says you get a cool tax free billion but what's the max you'd give up in years?
Most people wouldnt trade places with Warren buffet cause he's a multi billionaire but he's obviously not got much longer to live due to age. Just to help with perspective
One year of life is worth $495,000, according to the government. So about 2 thousand years, mathematically speaking /s
People will live longer if their goal was to be a billionaire because it would take them many many more years to achieve that goal if possible.
I'd give my life up if I were in my 60s so I could give the money to my family.
Being old is not worth it at all, that's my hypothetical answer.
Whatever amount I have left to work before I can retire.
Admittedly I 'can enjoy life even while working,
But I would enjoy living more with more money, so it evens out.

Getting old sucks, but it's better than not getting old.
No one needs a billion dollars...A billion dollars is just a power trip.
Trump does the YMCA dance every time he makes a billion.
No matter what I'd turn down the deal as Lord Yeshua was crystal clear on this.
The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.
It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.

You mean like Highlander, the inmortal?
It could be but we will never know until scientists manage to stop aging.
Some extraterrestrial races achieved inmortality so I think it's not as bad as you and @fauxlaw think.

No, I mean like Sidewalker, the old guy. Also Sidewalker the widowed and remarried guy, my first wife didn't get old.

I'm old, I know.

FLRW is older than I am, we both know exactly how bad it is to get old.
When I was young, I wrestled, played football, and after college I played Rugby Football for eight years, I was practically indestructable.
Now I'm old, and the other day I sat down. on the couch and in the process, I hurt my back, can you believe that, I got a fucking "sitting-down" injury.
Believe me when I tell you, getting old sucks.
That is why the aging change their priorities and want to be billionaires Warren Buffet is a good example.
