If you had four days to live and had no money in your bank account.....

On the day of your death, how rich could you be?

 

[Salomé]

Since wealth will cease to matter (its only import it to guarantee future security, and it doesn't even do that) it's moot.

I thought this was going to be an interesting question.

Zero. If I had 50 years to live, the answer would be zero. The only reason I won't have zero is because I don't know precisely when I will die. Even if I had kids/family/charities that could use the money, I'd of given them everything I don't intend to spend earlier!

Better question: Given you have four days to live and no money, what is the most money you would have during that time?

 

[chickpea]

I don't really get this question, are you asking how much money we make now? how much it's humanly possible to make? I mean I could prostitute myself and get rich in 4 days but why would I spend my last days trying to make money?

 

[metalmommy]

I would have my children and their value to me is infinite, so, I would be quite rich on that fourth day.

i would spend it with the people i love and focus on things that would offer solace to them while i am away. i would not tell them im dying though. i would slip away on the last day to some far away location. leave behind my id and personal information or give it to some person. it would blip on the map and give them hope that i was out there. i would ask the person who has my identity to try not getting caught. id make up some lie that i have a boyfriend as well.

than i would jump into a vat of acid, so i would be unrecognizable :

thats a lot of blowjobs, why would you spend your last four days ruining your throat and jaw?

I'd still be broke, but I would have pawned my wedding ring and bought the biggest life insurance policy I could get so my husband and kids would have a little cash to play with.

my point exactly. thank u leger

 

[Lark]

I'd be as rich as I am now, money riches means shit all to me, especially if I have days to live.

I'm spending time with my family, my dog, my books, my music and hopefully having sex with an ex-girlfriend or someone I love. I'm not making money. I'm being with my remaining days, not capitalising.

 

[Fluffywolf]

I'd spend the days reflecting upon my life. If I need groceries, I suppose I would leave the world in debt. Because one thing is for sure, I wouldn't be out earnign money anymore.

 

[sprinkles]

As rich as I want.

Love this response!

I'd also try to schedule time at Plum Village for those most affected by my death. I think I'd also want to be cremated and have my ashes mixed with those of our deceased dog, Sonnet and kitten Markov, and tossed throughout our forest. I'd like to become a tree with my loved ones.
