depends where the year goes. if it's a mythical year off the end of my life, then I might. if it's "sit in this cage for a year," probably not. -- nm - mafic Apr 19, 22:41
Actually, I will say 5. - Spawn Apr 19, 21:37 1
- but you'd ahve skipped your Robert Smith phase. -- nm - Remlik Apr 19, 22:06
Since its obvious a lot of people would take a million or even several, rampant inflation will diminish the value and make those who didn't get cash - zeitgeist Apr 19, 21:36
zero -- nm - Spawn Apr 19, 21:30 1
- You are selfish!! -- nm - Amy si Apr 19, 21:31
If you'd asked me this pre-family I'd have said a lot more, but I think now I'd say just 1 - Stephen Apr 19, 21:26 5
- Pre Logan I would have said 2 or 3. - Spawn Apr 19, 21:31
- See this is good. I was wondering if the amount would go up to take care of your family. - Redmond Apr 19, 21:29 3
  - As someone who had/is having kids "later" in life how much time I'll have with them is something I think of from time to time -- nm - Stephen Apr 19, 21:33 2
    - interesting. Makes sense. I am going to be 41 soon and still open to having kids if I find the right not friend zoner -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:36
    - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Apr 19, 21:33
i couldn't - 'lia Apr 19, 21:24 4
- but 5 million dollars is 166,666.666666666666666 lap dances (I used a calculator hence the .66666666666666666) - Redmond Apr 19, 21:27 3
  - maybe for you - 'lia Apr 19, 21:56 2
    - are you dead inside? -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:58 1
      - are you serious? - 'lia Apr 19, 22:06

there was a great twilight zone episode about this... -- nm - znufrii Apr 19, 21:02 9
- Figures. I thought about this today. - Redmond Apr 19, 21:04 8
  - *spoiler* - znufrii Apr 19, 21:10 6
    - Reminds me a little of the movie Bedazzled. BTW how you took my question and made it remind you of that episode is beyond me. -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:12
    - Serling was an insufferable moralist. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 21:11 4
      - I remember sneaking out to watch an episode as a kid and promptly had nightmares for months - parents were sooooo mad at me ... it was the Ear Wick Ep - JenBro Apr 19, 21:16 3
        
        jenbro is an insufferable rulebreaker -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 19, 21:17 2
        
        I can't handle the rules! - JenBro Apr 19, 21:20
        
        but she loves cats so we forgive her - 'lia Apr 19, 21:20
  - No, to the IM. -- nm - psilotum Apr 19, 21:05
the punchline is, you were scheduled to die next year. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 21:02 9
- Come on answer the question -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:05 8
  - two years. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 21:05 7
    - wait, is it taxable? -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 21:05 6
      - No redo! -- nm - psilotum Apr 19, 21:13 4
        
        my answer stays the same, I just didn't want to lose it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 21:13 3
        
        Then vote Republican -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:14 2
        
        eff that, I just won't report it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 21:14 1
        
        I would rather lose years off my life and not have the IRS on my ass -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:16
      - No, let's keep it simple. The million(s) are a non taxable gift. -- nm - Redmond Apr 19, 21:07
