Actually, there are quite a few insightful answers you're getting, especially the ones about taking care of family and friends. The idea you're driving home is directly addressing the fact that we will all die (in 10 years), as opposed to the idea of "One day I'll die but I don't know when". You've given us a definitive timeline so we're considering what's really important. Some are focusing (albeit out of levity) on immediate pleasures, while others are more focused on those left behind. I'd say your question is pretty good!lechat said:that ones actually much better.FizzyIzze said:My version:
Granted, the point of the $10 million dollar exercise and my exercise aren't the same, but it's all I got.Ask yourself if you're unhappy about anything in your life right now. Is it something that you have the power to change? Now, imagine your life ten years from now, only everything is exactly the same. Does that make you unhappy?
If so, imagine you are the future version of you. What would you tell yourself right now to change your life? What would you start doing differently today so that you don't end up the same, unhappy person 10 years from now?
wtf am i using my question for?
Regarding the original topic, I'd say that each immediate family member gets one million (via last will and testament). For me, that leaves 2 million, which I would immediately donate to (randomly picked but super awesome non-profit organization) Q-Drum [http://www.qdrum.co.za/].
I would proceed to live the rest of my life normally; that is, work a job, play games, live humbly, die anonymously.
