Hypothetical Question

Before you is a machine with a button. If you press the button, there is a 75% chance you will instantly receive $50,000 (or your regional equivalent) and a 25% chance that you won't. However, regardless of your success or failure, you are instantly aged forward by two years. You may press the button up to four times. Do you press the button? If so, how many times and why.

That wouldn't even financially make sense for me 😅 And even if it was twice the amount, I still value my years much higher.

No thank you. I would rather live than to sell my soul for money. Money can come and go but it can never make you truly happy

150k in 4 years? In 208 weeks? Less than a 1000 a week? No experience, no life, no nothing? Idk man, I don't think I'll press that

Mmm. Maybe. Fifty grand would do a lot for me, and men in my family are long lived anyway.

2y

Losing that much of my life for 50 grand isn't worth it.

Not worth it. Lets ask the opposite question. You are old, sick and dying but you have a lot of money. There is a button, every time you press it it costs $50000, with a 75% chance of making you 1 year younger and healthier, and a 25% chance of wasting the money. Any sane person would press that until they're bankrupt.
