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

[Masonfight]

If I had a billion dollars I'd pay someone to help make the end a little more exciting

 

[epic]

Yes I would still want to die . I can earn my own money. It's my health issues I can't deal with. You should turn this question into a poll in another thread.

I could leave it to people I leave behind, so I would feel better about CTBing

 

[AJ95]

Definitely not, I'd live life happily and dedicate the rest of it to helping other people and animals with my money.

I'd be able to do so much and help so many.

 

[itachi of death]

I would set everyone in my life up and grab a gun play Russian roulette with a huge joint some white stuff and my favorite songs blaring at max volume

 

[TheSomebody]

It would make me happy for a while, but in the long term i would still be alone with a miserable life. I would want to ctb anyway.

 

[ADruinedmylife]

No I do not see any amount of money curing my anhedonia and PSSD.

 

[Kruger]

yes

 

[lugerepair]

If I had a billion dollars, most of my problems would be solved, so no, I don't think I would still want to die.

I'd be able to live in an apartment that fulfills my sensory needs (quiet, no neighbor noises, no roommates, no weird smells, etc.), I wouldn't have to work, I could hire a chef that would cater to my highly idiosyncratic food preferences, I'd be able to hire a good therapist, I'd have a chauffeur, which means I would actually be able to go places instead of staying indoors all the time because I hate being on public transportation so much (again, sensory issues), I'd be able to afford singing lessons, painting lessons, etc. Whatever I want to learn, I'd be able to hire the best teachers for it. So yeah, I would probably not want to die anymore.

 

[Masonfight]

I think it would speed things up for me. Easier to take care of the loose strings and just focus on death.

 

[woxihuanni]

I have no use for money per se, but that amount would probably just buy him and solve the problem. Since he is puppet-played like a thing by someone, pretty sure he would be possible to buy like a thing.

 

[LenkaX]

This question doesn't make sense. What's the chance of getting billion dollars out of nowhere? There is zero chance.

 

[lucid]

Yes, because like others said, it can't fix permanent problems. I would invest most of that money toward helping animals, other animal-related things and cancer research, then whatever I have left just to live comfortably. As much as owning a big fancy mansion sounds a little fun, in the end it's gonna make me more depressed than I already am.

 

[Shoopaloopadoop]

I would definitely still ctb because no amount of money in the world can buy genuine friends & love.

 

[LastFlowers]

Yes. At this point, money is no guarantee of what I need to live and it will not give me back all that I lost, including time itself.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

With a billion $ I'd buy a big sailboat where we both could live... Just kidding . I'd buy a big sailboat so i can go commit suicide in the middle of the ocean where none of the brainwashed robots could interfere with me freeing me of this prison, this aging, fragile animal body that i have to constantly feed and work to keep comfortable.

 

[AMG44]

No i would not, most of my problems would be solved

 

[JoJo4673]

Yes, I would still want to die. No amount of money could ever fix how much I hate myself or how lonely I am. Money can't buy me friends or a girlfriend, at least not any that aren't superficial. Money won't fill any of those voids.

 

[lifeisbutadream]

It would make zero difference to me.

 

[Gnip]

Money would enable me to move to a sunny rural place where I could access and afford the best in biofeedback therapy and other modalities like clinical hypnosis, Design Human Engineering and other advanced health care procedures, but ultimately, my severe congenital obstructive sleep apnea would have to be cured, and that may simply not be possible at this time and place in medical treatment and technology.

Life isn't very good if you're continually sleep deprived as I am. It's possible that the only method which might help me at this stage is a three month daily course of vocal exercises for pharyngeal fitness toning which may enable me to breathe freely when sleeping. If there's any validity to that, then no amount of money can be a substitute for what I must be able to do for myself.

Steve Jobs was one of the world's most famous billionaires. Didn't save him from dying at age 56 from pancreatic cancer, and wealthy people choose to CTB all the time.

It may very well be that no amount of money or any form of treatment which has ever been attempted by anybody who has ever lived could resolve my issues.

 

[Shades of Grey]

I might be able to survive if money weren't a concern. I'd retire effective immediately, and while I would still be chronically mentally ill, I'd be able to afford distractions.

Not having to worry about working or being trapped in this profession anymore would probably make a significant difference in my quality of life, though.

 

[Reach]

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

Wondering how much you need for this, I should start saving.

 

[TripleA]

Yep

 

[Going Home]

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

I would still feel the same because I am being accused of things that I don't do. I'd still use the money to try and make myself and others feel better.

 

[BLUE1970]

Perhaps for a short while, it would be a distraction for a bit.

 

[sadworld]

I don't think money would stop my suicidal thoughts but I think I could live with it.

 

[Yuki Tenuki]

I would still be a depressed, lonely, sleepless, dissolved individual. :/

 

[Konjac]

I'd spend my last few months living out my wildest dreams, then just pay off one of those euthanasia places when I've finally had enough. I doubt I'd be able to blow a billion dollars in just a few months so any leftover money would go to my friends/family and charities ofc.

 

[Weary Soul]

I do not know.

Money provides the ability to find more resources to help me, but does it buy happiness? To me, tragedy has no socioeconomic borders; i.e., people who have incredible financial stability have chosen to end their lives regardless of the bottom line of their bank account. Large amounts of money like this may also come with additional problems.

I think if about 5 million or more dropped into my lap today, I would hold off on my current plans, and take the money to purchase a sanctuary for people who want to end their lives for whatever reason. The goal of such a sanctuary? To help aid them on their journey as THEY wish, wherever that journey may take them.

yes
