Would you take it?


Money is after tax but if you take it then you can no longer do any work again. Including volunteering. No work whatsoever. A constant Christian Sunday.

You're not allowed to invest the money nor are you allowed to resell anything that you buy. You can solely use the money for bills, goods, services etc.

No one can inherit the money either. It dies with you.

Fuck that's a good question

Professional gamblers exist.

I guess it's fine if it's a hobby.

So I can spend it on a giant mansion on a Caribbean island... and fill it full of nubile young women?

And engage in orgies every week?

Fuck yes I'd take it.

And I'd get around the spending restriction by "buying" inconsequential things off of people for incredible amounts of money.

Friend of mine needs $5k for a sudden emergency? You got it, bud, just give me a ride to the ATM and I'll pay you for the "taxi service".

EDIT: Actually, the OP only says we're not allowed to invest the money or resell things, it doesn't say anything about giving money, food, or items as gifts.

Just save your income for like two years and buy the house in cash outright.

I voted yes, but now that I think of it, not being able to resell anything would be kind of a pain in the ass. Maybe if giving things away for free, worked. Otherwise it kind of forces you to become a hoarder

This is one of those hilariously easy, hypothetical situation topics where it actually becomes depressing because I can't help but temporarily think of being blessed with 20K a month and then boom, i'm back to the grind of reality.

If no one can inherit the money, can they inherit the things you buy with the money?

Or does everything disappear when you die?

Like, what happens if I use to to pay my mortgage and buy a new car? Can I not then sell my house or car 20 years from now?

As with most of the hypotheticals, they aren't very well thought out.

You can't spend it on anything that has resale value, but you can use it to pay "bills".

Most people's main bills are their mortgage or car loan.

The problem is TC has to try and close loopholes because everyone on CE thinks they are so smart and ruins the fun immediately with them.

Define "work"? Am I allowed to mow my lawn? Do laundry? Re-arrange my living room? Make a pot of coffee?

You're not allowed to invest the money nor are you allowed to resell anything that you buy. You can solely use the money for bills, goods, services etc.

No one can inherit the money either. It dies with you.

Okay, so if I buy a house, what happens when I die? Does my spouse get evicted? Can they sell it once I'm dead?
