I have to agree. Taken in the original context (as in no other info)I don't think we're all in agreement about what this question is really asking.
An honest and well thought out answer.I'd have to go with 80 on this one. I'm not poor nor have I ever been, but if I'd never been well-off, I'd appreciate hard work more. Being "me", however, I know that I would eventually make my financial situation better. I understand the question is "being poor forever" but being poor generally means working hard to do what you do, and I just know I'd be able to make myself better.
My dad started off poor in a poor family and he moved away and made everything better for himself and his family, and I'm well provided for. I can't see not making my situation better after 80 years.
Either way, I'll take the longer life. I'm 23. That would give me only 17 more years. Shit sneaks up on you.
The rules say no matter how hard you work you always struggle... otherwise the question doesn't work.I'd have to go with 80 on this one.

I think you stress too much about money... unless you're actually in danger of starving to death it's not that important...Money may not buy happiness, but money removes the biggest stress causer in most peoples lives, lack of fucking money.
Luckily I have never gotten to THAT level. We were hungry (not enough to eat) but barely have enough to eat but not starving.I think you stress too much about money... unless you're actually in danger of starving to death it's not that important...
when it comes to forums, I usually take the literal approach. I would assume from these two sentences that I can get to live to be 80 (no matter what happen) BUT I will be money scraping all my life. To me, that mean struggling just to survive day to dayWould you either :
- Be born rich and die at a young age of 40 (and still be rich).
- Have little in the means of money scraping by for all your life but live until you're 80.
Discuss.
You only get unemployment if you were employed beforeHUD, Food Stamps, and Unemployment for me...
Fox News tells me daily that I can live fat and happy on entitlements for ever... They would not lie to me, would they?You only get unemployment if you were employed before(naturally I would assume we are able to get a job, but not a good job)
Yea, if you play your cards right. I guess you could take advantage of welfare system (food stamps and aids)Fox News tells me daily that I can live fat and happy on entitlements for ever... They would not lie to me, would they?
It can be stressful especially when you have a family and trying to do good with themIt's more of a "why should I bust my ass for $15,000 when I can stay home and get $8,000?" as I've read it. It's because the loss of time and gain of stress is just not worth the money to some.
And to complicate matters, getting the job might not even add enough income to cover babysitting.It can be stressful especially when you have a family and trying to do good with them![]()
It can get expensive (unless you have stay at home relatives) even the cheapest is around 400-600 a month (5 days a week)And to complicate matters, getting the job might not even add enough income to cover babysitting.
... what? I CAN CARE ABOUT POOR PEOPLE TOO YOU GUYS JEEZ

Great, if you only had 19 years to spend you own money.... You would do evil instead of good. nice."Damn, I'm sure glad I spent the last 22 years banging a different supermodel every week and altering the destiny of humanity instead of being doomed to labor in obscure futility for the next 40 years with nothing to look forward to other than increasing infirmity.

Let me put it another way... the activities I would plan to take part in under plan A would actually be very likely to cause my death before 40 anyway.
Evil is a label the small minded place on those with the willingness to realize their dreams.Great, if you only had 19 years to spend you own money.... You would do evil instead of good. nice.

Pretty much my life motto right there.Evil is a label the small minded place on those with the willingness to realize their dreams.![]()

It is what the mundane label the inspiring. It is what the pliant label the uncompromising. It is what the sheep label the wolf. It is what the bonded label the free.It is what the broad minded label people that desire shallow ends, and desire to hurt those around them.
That is what I label a load of horseshit.It is what the mundane label the inspiring. It is what the pliant label the uncompromising. It is what the sheep label the wolf. It is what the bonded label the free.
Haters gonna hate.That is what I label a load of horseshit.
Well, 39 years 364 days have come and gone. One day left on this Earth and due to my vast fortune I've been able to travel the world, meet interesting people, laugh, live, love, have children, a legacy, made an impact on this Earth that will ensure the memory of my existence endures like that of J.D. Rockefeller. I'm pretty much the living embodiment of this guy:See what you rick fuckers say at 39 years and 364 days!
RELEVANT:If I was born rich, and had all the money in the world, I could do what Bruce Wayne did in Batman and live like the poor for a few years to appreciate what I have. Screw scraping by with the bare minimum.
Who is that guy?Quantity doesn't equal quality. Fuck it, who says you have to lead a hollow existence if you're rich? If I was born rich, and had all the money in the world, I could do what Bruce Wayne did in Batman and live like the poor for a few years to appreciate what I have. Screw scraping by with the bare minimum. Money doesn't buy you the important things in life, but it's sure nice to live stress-free without having to waste a solid 40 years of your life in a cubicle - ultimately making some asshole at the top rich with your blood, sweat, and tears.
You're going to die in the end anyway. What's the point of living 40 more years if you're scraping by? You're just mortar for the rest of humanity at that point.

Luckily, I have found peace with my mortality from my visits to numerous and wondrous religious pilgrimages. Now I get to check out before old age ravages my mind and body. Enjoy shitting your pants at the old folks home when you're 80, you dumbass, play-it-safe fucks.
