I guess you'd have to use the normal methods, but you'd have more time to attempt to do it in. And also, once you did get a successfull business going, you could save up your money over a much longer period of time, thus achieving more wealth than an any mortal ever could.

They'd be reminded of the fragility of life every time one of their own died. It would be a huge deal, a great loss, on the news and everything. Perhaps morals and values would change, but I think they'd still fear death, perhaps more than normal people.
