Shot in the head. We assume fatality. Die instantly or be given at least $500k. What dollar value do you put on your life?

My kids are nearly grown. If I died today, they would still live good lives. They would be a bit sadder, but they would be fine. If I suddenly had any of the top 4 amounts of money, all motivation for bettering themselves would evaporate. We would all be worse people, creating our own adversity because money would wipe away any real life challenges.

I'll pass. I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery. [/brighteyes]
