$10 Million… But You Lose 10 Years of Your Life. Deal? 💰⏳

Here’s the moral dilemma currently bouncing around social media like an intrusive thought at 2 a.m.:
You get $10 million right now. Instantly. No taxes. No loopholes.
But your lifespan is cut by 10 years.
Do you sign?
A hypothetical poll asked that exact question, and 63% said yes.
The remaining 37% clutched their future like a Costco-sized pack of vitamins and said absolutely not.

The Catch Nobody Can Clarify
There’s no fine print, which is frankly suspicious.
Does it shave off your final decade, meaning goodbye 80s?
Or does it magically know your exact expiry date?
Because there’s a huge difference between:
• Losing your 90s
and
• Signing the deal and immediately falling over because you were only two years away from the finish line anyway.
That detail feels important.
The Internet’s Reactions Were… Bold
Some of the best responses:
• “Win/win.”
• “Make it 30 years, and I’ll think about it.”
• “Shorter life with money and comfort beats longer life full of stress.”
• “Five years for $5 million feels reasonable.”
Nice try. That is not the offer. This is not Build-A-Bargain.
The Real Question
Would you rather:
A) Live slightly shorter but financially free
B) Live longer, but keep refreshing your banking app with mild anxiety
Ten years is a lot. But so is $10 million.
That’s retire-tomorrow money. That’s never-check-gas-prices-again money. That’s “yes, I would like guac” without hesitation, money.
Time may be priceless. But apparently, 63% of people have a number.
So… are you signing?
