Good morning.
Speaker A:It's Haystack.
Speaker A:And a poll asked if you could get $10 million now, but your lifespan was decreased by 10 years, would you take the offer?
Speaker A:And in this poll, roughly two thirds of us said, yes, absolutely.
Speaker A:You know, some people will say that time is more important than money, but that's a chunk of money.
Speaker A:$10 Million for 10 years.
Speaker A:And 63% said yes.
Speaker A:Now, there's no fine print on this poll.
Speaker A:So I don't know if this Magic deal cuts 10 years from an average person's lifespan.
Speaker A:Like, at.
Speaker A:What if our average age now is, what, 76?
Speaker A:So you're gonna die at 66 or if.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I don't know if this.
Speaker A:Like, somehow it knows when your life is going to end.
Speaker A:And so if it's supposed to be 102, you die at 92, you get hit by a bus or whatever.
Speaker A:No, no fine print on how this works.
Speaker A:But it was pretty funny when you looked at people's response to the poll.
Speaker A:My favorites were, first of all, win, win.
Speaker A:$10 Million and 10 years shaved off my life.
Speaker A:That's a win win.
Speaker A:And I don't have to worry, you know, less likely to have to be in diapers at the end like I was at the beginning.
Speaker A:Make it a decrease of 30 years and I'll think about it.
Speaker A:Someone said that would.
Speaker A:I would say.
Speaker A:That would be my reply.
Speaker A:But I'm less than 30 years from the end for me.
Speaker A:So, no, I. I'm not going to say that.
Speaker A:A shorter lifetime of financial stability and comfort versus a slightly longer life full of stress and burnout.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's a pretty easy decision, you know, someone else said I'd compromise five years for five million.
Speaker A:More than enough to live comfortably, but without too much impact on life.
Speaker A:That's not what the offer was.
Speaker A:You don't get to make.
Speaker A:There was no choice for other.
Speaker A:Don't you know how hypothetical questions work?
Speaker A:Either way, 63% of us would trade our final 10 years of life for $10 million.
Speaker A:But I think you should maybe reconsider that after you look at my top six amazing things that you're gonna miss out on if you give up the final 10 years of your life.
