Eternal life or endless money?

I would have the money and enjoy my life not working but doing exactly what I wanted. How would this mony be given, one large lump sum or whenever you bought something you had the money for it there and then?

I would not want the eternal life as why would I want to live forever and stay 29?? All my friends and family would grow old and die, leaving me alone in the world, and the same would happen to everyone you grew close to, it would become more of a curse than a joy.

Nope i would rather age with everyone else and use the money to enjoy the life I have.

I'd take the money and use as much of it as it took to research living forever...

Naah, just kidding.

I'd take the money if I had to make a choice of the two, but I don't think it says anything about human nature that most people choose money over life. Most people here have stated they wouldn't like eternal life because they'd have to watch their loved ones die: I'd expand this by saying "would I rather live another 60 years or forever?" Gimme the 60 years thanks...

I went for eternal life... Yep, it's got its downsides but what use is money if you die tomorrow? I want to get to the next page.

What, outlive my kids and watch all my friends get old and die? Torture. Gimme the money.

Can always make new friends and have more kids.
Choose the right friends and you can have lots of fun doing both at the same time.

I'd go for the cash I think, just because I don't quite fancy the idea of floating around in space millions of years into the future when everyone I care about is long gone anyway.

At least with cash I can pay off these damn loans and do all the things I want to do before I die (hopefully without dying in the process) and then I at least will felt I have made the most of life. If I had eternal life I'd get bored very quickly of all the cr&p that goes on in the world.
