How old are you? Not being facetious in any way, but I'd imagine most of the ones who say at no point ever no way would they even consider it...are probably older, married, established with a good job, kids, the works. I'm in my 20s and single so the thought of retiring tomorrow with essentially unlimited money is pretty appealing.

I'm pretty proud of my life so far. The chances of someone offering me half a billion dollars are, I'd say...pretty slim, so I don't think I'll ever have to worry about living with that decision.

I know this might be hard to believe but I really wouldn't do it for any amount of money.

like some other guy said, life isn't about money and a billion dollars isn't going to make you happy...


I have a friend who was nearly killed in a car accident and nearly lost his arm, another who recently was diagnosed with cancer -- both are in need of serious medical procedures.

If no one's supposed to know about it and it's the glory hole scenario -- goddamn right I'd slob that knob to get them what they needed.

There's tons of people I could help, and for fear of what? Being labeled as gay? shite, pass the ammunition. There are way worse things in this world than being labeled as gay.

EDIT: I wouldn't give them all the money of course, but I'd break them off some.

47, but I wouldn't have done it at 37, 27, or 17 either because as I said, it isn't about the money.

I could have made a lot more money in my career field had I chosen to move to a different state or even a different city but I like were I live so I stayed and I have no regrets.

Again, it isn't about the particular act. It is about what values you're willing to compromise for money and what makes you truly happy.

You are comparing 5 minutes of work for 50 million dollars to working in another state?

Are you married?

Has your wife ever said if you do "insert anything here" for me I will give you head?

Is she now damaged goods because she sucked your dick?

For those saying money doesn't buy you happiness, it sure does buy a better brand of misery.

Yeah that's true I'd suck a dick to help someone I cared about get medical treatment and stuff. That's a good point. Just another man's semen in the back of my throat sounds so repulsive.

Goddamn right soldier, you take that shite for those you love and those you can help, not for yourself.

Selfish bastards.

It also buys boredom and early checkouts from life when you have nothing to strive for in life. Don't get me wrong, if I won the lottery tomorrow, I wouldn't turn it down. However, there's a reason most people end up miserable after having won it. As you get older, you really do realize that it's not money or material things that make you happy. And anyone who thinks it will cure the ills that make you unhappy, just really hasn't had much life experience.
