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

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Absolutely! As i've said in some realted threads before: money can't buy happiness. It maybe delay my ctb. I will still be miserable if i were billionaire.

I think most of the problems are due to lack of money. Suddenly all problems go away, debts, work, worries. There are incurable cases: drug-resistant endogenous depression, physical pain. Other problems even my ugliness is acceptable with enough cash - expensive psychotherapy and books, the possibility of breaking with toxic relationships.

 

[Mr2005]

Probably but I could afford to live miserably in peace. Never have to do anything I didn't want to so I'd probably see it out

I'll join you. We'll be miserable together, but you need to sponsor my luxury misery because I'm broke.

 

[Buffy5120]

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

Wouldnt solve anything

 

[k75]

I highly doubt any amount of money could change my mind, but it might provide some good distraction first.

I spent a lot of money this year making home improvements and getting comfy furniture and just in general upgrading things around me. Things I'd wanted to do for ages. And somehow I didn't feel any better at all after anything I did. And I really thought it would help. But I ended up kind of feeling worse because of the disappointment of it making no difference. I just was able to focus on other things that are bad. So that tells me I can have all the nice shit in the world and I'll still be depressed and want to die. Money isn't going to take my scars away or replace missing body parts or give me my life back or make time travel possible.

I think that if I was completely financially secure lifes other problems would on the whole pale into insignificance.

 

[Leech]

Nah lol I wouldn't have to worry about having been a sedentary failure
much more than being a doctor would have brought me looool

 

[ARW3N]

A billion dollars can't magically stop the Queen from dying nor eradicate a mental or terminal illness. There are just as many rich people that kill themselves as poor folk.

 

[Passersby]

Hell yes I would still ctb! There is no amount of money that can fix my problems. Delaying for a short while to try to get something out of the money at least would be smart though.

Suffering doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care if your rich or poor, young or old. There have been tons of rich people throughout history who have ctb.

I would have to hookup remaining family and few friends I have though. Donate to the humane society for the poor animals especially cats. Give some out to homeless people and whatever else that seemed important to do with it. I would also start a fire with some and listen to my favorite songs as I watch it burn.

 

[Wayfaerer]

No at least not until that billion ran out.

 

[Playlainin]

I'd still want to die, but living would be a whole lot easier

 

[nitroautnz]

It won't change anything to my plan to ctb, it probably will make it easier for me to kill myself knowing i will leave letting the people i love out of poverty . Maybe delay it a bit, to mnake sure that I will give the money to people that i love and it wont hurt them, but I won't use it for myself.

 

[NeverGoodEnuff]

I am not rich but am financially stable, money is not the problem. People are the problem. But if one is going to dream...

I would buy a huge tract of land, like 20,000 acres, build a small house to live in, totally off the grid. With some mountains, high plains, live water. Then barns, pastures, corrals to house horses, dogs, cats, hire the best to train and care for them (well, ya can't train cats). Have people who would do the procurement of food, supplies, etc.

Each person would have their specialty, live on premises in their own small house away from others, be paid a decent salary. A vehicle (Jeep?) that would give them a way to get around the place. People who love, live for and are dedicated to their profession. The best of the best. And of course, a vet!

I would spend my days outside with the animals. Can money buy perfect weather year around? Saddle up a horse, whistle up the dogs, and ride. No hunting, btw.

Sigh. Peace.

 

[BPD Barbie]

It wouldn't even need to be a billion. It could be £20,000 and it would be enough to clear my debt and enable me to move on and try to recover without debt looming over me. Money is a huge contributor to my decision to ctb.

 

[voidman]

I find it kind of staggering, the amount of people who say they would be cured by having a large amount of money. I guess it makes sense in some cases. In my case I could probably delay it for some time, but eventually I would buy N and then give the rest to family, then ctb.

There have been many multimillionaires who have ctb that can be found with a simple search. Even a few billionaires, ironically enough, did so due to financial issues.

 

[_Kaira_]

My ex who is also depressed amazes me. He says being successful is all that matters to him. I understand and respect that. He often talked of suicide whenever his anxiety got to him, but said he appreciates life way to much to ever do it. I don't know how he does it.

Money is not my main concern. I'm broken and damaged, overall hate my life. Medications and therapy don't work, I certainly don't want to live past 60 when my government health insurance is gone. I breathe, yet on the inside I'm already dead. Either something saves me from this internal hell, or soon I CTB.

 

[LittleJem]

Yes please. I'll take MJ's doctor or some ropey doctor who'll prescribe me fentanyl. Phew.

 

[killmejacee]

I don't think it'd change much. I'd definitely stay around a bit longer to experience things that I never would've been able to though. I've been wealthy before and I was still very much in and out the mental hospital.

 

[ygornimoy]

I am 50 years old, and my life has always been hell.

I'd feel a little better, but the anger would remain. It'd live with me forever and ever. I feel like I have been in prison all my life. Mostly because of my insane family, and the fact that I hate Panama, and I hate my life.

The anger would remain. Youth lost. Career lost.

Maybe I'd feel a little better, but not for long.

 

[Jojo81]

400 million dollars in my bank account is enough ... I will give the rest of 600 million dollars to others..

 

[Wisdom3_1-9]

I'd 1) pay off my debts, 2) put aside money for my testamentary expenses, for my mother's care, for my husband to start over, and for my goddaughter's future, and 3) give the rest to charities important to me.

Then I'd kill myself.

 

[Leftover]

Suffering from illness, I'd probably want to die, yes. I got everything I want and need, at least material. Buying things does not bring me personal happiness, nor could it heal me. The only thing it'd do would take the need to find work - strengthening my SA, which would then again strengthen my MDD. No good. But at least I could get good care for my paralyzed mom, pay her debts.

 

[lighthousekeeper]

I'd still do it but I'd wait a while... probably restore historic homes, which is something I want to do... I'd mess around with that for a while & then I'd do it

 

[DeathNoot]

Yeah, I'd be content with that. I don't really need a billion tho thats too much. 3 million is nice number. Could buy a house and have enough left over for the bills

 

[illbeinthegarage]

i would still want to die, but there would be a lot of stuff i wanted to do with the money before i die. also id probably buy N with it lmao

 

[Sensei]

I'd buy an apartment downtown in a metropolis like New York or Tokyo, live like a recluse, and go to libraries, cafés, pubs, and bars when I feel like it. I believe I'd be a happy man and not think of suicide very often.

 

[Homecoming]

Yes

 

[FatalSystemError591]

Absolutely. It would solve so many of my problems.

 

[Meditation guide]

It would make me happy to donate it to some charities.
