This would be your total lifespan, and you wouldn't be able to get around it with money.

Being poor you gain respect for life.
William
Then why does everybody kick the hobo down my street?
Freq-Sho
and being rick you couldn't donate a lot to help other people and do things like convert your front yard to a 500 sq foot garden to grow food for the hungry?
Lawrence
No you don't. Most people in poverty turn to drugs and crime to escape their life. Your full of shit.
JustCarefree
Tell that to every American you see.
Shanna
You're obviously not poor. Moron.

well I'm not exactly rich... But life isn't all about money.
Allamo
If I knew I were to die at forty and I had assloads of money I would give most of it to charity, so your point is invalid.
kjhgjkgh
Shanna you are poor but wasting time and money on the internet to insult people?
wonderbung
Many people live below the poverty line but still have wonderful lives. Being rich doesn't guarantee that you will ever fall in love, make true friends, start a family, or be happy at all.
Shanna
I already have a husband I love more than anything have true friends and have a beautiful son. The only thing missing is being rich so yea being rich and only living till i'm 40 would be worth it because i'd be able to make my son and my husbands lives a BILLION times better than they are now being poor as fuck. Being rich equals happiness 9 times out of 10 my friend and only rich people think different.
Darcy
That is right
Spencer Reese
@Shanna Would your son rather have inheritance over you for 40 more years? I guarantee your husband and son care more about you than your money, their lives would not be better.
Jacob
Well, Shanna, rich people would know. What the studies say is that while serious poverty does make people less happy, rich people are no happier than normally endowed people. Of course the answer to this depends on exactly how poor you would be, but unless we're talking starvation, life is worth much more than whatever money.
Patrick
Being rich would be so clutch.
4chan
We be pimpin.
Ian
Smart investments, noone says you have to live without riches after your 40s...
Emily Spicer
It implies that you die at age 40.
Jacob
Actually it explicitly states that.
jazzhands
The American "worship money, die young" mentality is disgusting.
Max Miller
and where are you getting the fact that everyone who picked red is american?
Tyler Somers
I'd rather live my life happy than slowly watch my self die in sadness.
ramsT&F
Either option is being greedy, it's just as bad to wish for immortality as it is for endless riches
Jacob
Tyler: money does not make you happy. That's a statistical fact.
Blazephlozard
Living until 80 as I am now would be fine, but poverty is another matter entirely, I don't want 60 years of struggling for food, probably being homeless, having no entertainment...
rando
i'm poor, and it sucks.
Kelly Mckinnon
if ur so poor, how can u afford technology? thats not even cool to joke about
SunnyCrapCake
Kelly, he didn't say HOW poor. I have a friend who is quite poor, but he does sometimes have Internet, and he got a computer of a friend.
pirate
being rich doens't solve all your problems and you can be poor and happy, so...
Shanna
i'm poor and the only thing that could make me happy would be money. your obviously rich...
Lawrence
Being rich opens up the world. You can travel and experience so much. When your in poverty you cant do shit. And people who say the best things in life are free are full of it. I challenge anyone who truley believes that to quit their job and try and live a happy life as a bum.
mouse53
these comments just go to show we all think differently.. I don't let money or riches control how I live my life, life is what you make of it, or making the best out what you have, not having the best of everything. how does that go? Money can't buy you love or happiness.
Lawrence
Yes it can. Through massive donations to less fortunate you are loved and admired by those you help and money can buy amazing experiences, holidays and peace of mind.
Jacob
You do realize that if you 1. get a lot of money, 2. give the money away, other people in general aren't getting any richer? Of course if you got all your money from the mafia and/or the richest 1%, you really would make a difference, but the question doesn't state that.
Treelady
You can definitely travel without tons of money. Even in poverty, if you used all your resources towards traveling. I believe you would get very far.
De3ertf0x
poverty isn't homelessness
lanzadam
I would live large go out like Chris Farley R.I.P Chris u make me laugh a lot
invisiblesun
who wants to get old anyways?
GareBear
Crap, I'd rather die young and happy than old and sad.
Bean the mouse
Life is more valuble than money.
Luke
Growing old is kind of a big thing for me... Our lives are already so short... Riches can't buy half my life.
Powerpython
Wow. Too many people are way too materialistic.
pleaseimbeyonce
I so agree... just shaking my head at most of these comments.
iMustacheUaQuestion
i like money :D
Jerry Jerryson
I'm not really sure I want to live much past 40 anyway.
PowerRainbows
use the money to travel and actually live a little or be poor and never get to do anything? easy choice yo
Brendan
I could experience more in 10 years of riches than being poor let alone 40 of those years.
JForrestQ
Death should not be feared, but accepted as a fact of nature. You could use the money to finance worthy causes and gain more meaning in life rather than participating in "a miserable desire of a little more life." (Quote from the Crito, written by Plato, spoken by Socrates)
Joe Lee
Its ok ill just give up my money later to someone else.
Lynnaya Hamby
OMG I hit the wrong one! -_- stupid buttons.
Marcus Panico
Let's see, suffer for a long amount of time, or do everything you ever wanted to for half that amount of time?
Troggy
This is the true meaning of YOLO
Dalton Brown
i'd rather live longer than richer
Amanda Miller
I'm already poor so I might as well live longer then those rich bastards.
Amber Porter
I chose it because I honestly don't think I want to live to 80. :\
TardytheTurtle
it's not about how long you live, it's about how you live
Heavensarcher
Living in riches you can get more out of life in a shorter amount of time. You know, help others, travel etc. etc.
blue_potato7
It never said Nobody could revive me
Treelady
To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not. Akhenaton
thelostsiren
I'd rather live a relatively short life that I enjoy than a long one that I hate.
Jay Kerr
At least I could make the most of life. I could do a lot more in 40 years with money than I could in 80 without.
Elijah De Pino
if i became rich right now i would have 19 years to help the world
SunnyCrapCake
I don't mind dying at 80 in a lower class, but poverty is this: Noun The state of being extremely poor. Your life would suck. You'd likely be homeless, you'd probably have a hard life, your parents would very likely be doing drugs, and by the time you were eighty, who knows where you'd have ended up? In a hospital with AIDS, on the street as drunk as a lord? I know money isn't happiness, but I'd rather have a medium happiness rate than, well, THAT amount of happiness.
Kate H
40 years very well lived
davek1234
If you're rich you can help the poor, until you're broke then you can die happily
Bboybren
Live fast die young!
bumb beans
I don't want to be 80, period.
killmenow666
who the hell wants to see their prime slowly drifting away?
MyOpinionIsRight
Be poor, find a church, get a job, shave and clean up, become sexy, get decent paycheck, have nice apartment, get girlfriend live till 80
SeaFoamMelon
Already Poor, Can't miss what I've never had :p
greatestever
Just because you live till 80 doesn't mean that you will be happy in those 80 years.
kjhgjkgh
Im already in my 20s and i really, really dont want to die at 40. I grew up poor so i know i could deal with it again if i had to.
Dumle29
I like to think of this: While money might not make you happy, the lack thereof can make your life pretty danm misserable. Oh, and because I don't really care for my life, if i could help a multitude of others life. Getting rich and donating a shitton(metric) of money is my dream so yea :)
Divinity
being poor and forgotten or being remember as "that rich dude who always had a party" ...hmmm
Corbinium
Only picked this because the age...
jrocklover
no, you all who choose rich and die are emo... you are all choosing to die... -_- when you could live,although this world of death and lies can be cruel... i'd rather live than die
Ethan
Give most of my money to the poor.
