Ok, so 20k & fit. Or 500k and 30 stone!

AmyS · 19 Sep 2013 at 21:23

So by unhealthy you mean fat basically?
I'd still pick 20k & fit.

20k and fit. Wtf can you do with 500k when you're that heavy that you can't do on 20k a year?

Everything including shopping must just be too much of an effort. All sports are out, you're too fat to fit in any kind of decent Ferrari or the like. And for holidays, anywhere hot would just punish you way too much to enjoy anything.

All you can really do is sit on the sofa, eat take away and watch TV. So in the end, you wouldn't have 5 minutes to enjoy your money anyway. You'd soon be found in your chair, wide eyed, dribbling, clutching your chest and stiff as a board.

Good health is priceless.

Right now? I'm not healthy, I'm not wealthy, I lack both in incredible amounts, money can fix some of those and inspire will to keep working on it. Money please.

I would feel quite wealthy compared to now with a £30k salary, the six pack would be a bonus.

Rozzy85 · 19 Sep 2013 at 22:50

30K is still a lot. Maybe half it and see. Either way I would choose to be healthy over any money.

At the end of the day, the choice is more than simple.

What is the point in being wealthy, if your quality of life is not good enough to enjoy it?

He also didn't specify if he meant leap years or not, so if you are living 4 times as long as normal you might as well go wealthy anyway.

Healthy, then use my superior health to go kill the wealthy guy and take his cash.

would have been better saying you can be wealthy but go senile at 60

Certainly healthy. You'd be fine on 30k

While still advocating health over wealth, 30k is not much nowadays. It can be a serious struggle nowadays, particularly if you live in the SE. Bonus of health is that it usually allows to work harder to progress you career.

My career was so promising. I often fall into bouts of sadness thinking about what I could have been. My career ladder would have taken me to British Ambassador level. Now I'm stuck at home struggling
