if only he put as much effort into trading as he does into these stupid questions...probably would still be losing his ass
Part of living is not knowing when you are going to die. Not sure if you would enjoy your Ferrari so much if you knew it was going to quit running (for you) on your 60th Birthday. I'd probably start worrying about the party, I'd want it to be a really good one.
Why would any of you choose the struggle? You may only live to 61 in this scenario. Hell, you might die a day after your 60th. Why not choose option #1? The things you could do in this life with unlimited wealth. I mean if you can have "all you want", suppose you want to walk on the moon? Suppose you want to create cures for diseases. The possibilities are endless and I feel like the people that chose option 2 were only thinking that "all you want" meant banging hot chicks and driving expensive cars and thats it.
Because you don't know what will make you happy. What I thought would make me happy when I was 30 turned out to be true in essence but not true in fact. For instance, many think money will make them happy only to find trading is what really makes them happy. So in option #2 the thing that makes you happy doesn't end at age 60. While in option #1 the thing that makes you happy would be largely obsolete because there would be no reward for success. For some things it's the getting and not the having that makes you happy.
You're first sentence is "You don't know what will make you happy" If this is true, then you also don't know if the struggle will make you happy, so why not take option #1?
I can't answer, because there is no "Choice 3---All I want, but no death until I decide I reached the point in time where I feel I have seen enough of all the next upcoming Star Wars installments/Ridley-Scottesque movies." Let me have it all, live forever, and pull my own trigger on the decision to die when I feel I've had enough. 60 is such a silly arbitrary number. I understand the premise of the poll, but it is missing a couple of elements.
One thing for sure, when you are 30 you know nothing about life at 60. It's really a gambling question where one side is the unknown. otherwise my guess is the closer you get to 60 the better option #2 sounds.
