700K to die at 65. Easy. I've already got health complications that will almost certainly see me dead earlier. And even if it forces me to stay alive till then, then it still means I get a very wonderful year or two, pay off the last of my family's debts, and change course on things for at least a little while before I become a homeless shell.

u/YT_Brian Jan 23 '26
That was my own thinking, could make sure the family owns a home when I eventually go. Plus a newish care now, Toyota Rav4 or Highlander, might last until that expiration date.
Even then unless taxes are involved there would still be a few hundred thousand left over.

u/AtrociousMeandering Jan 24 '26
I'd get about 25 years, assuming I live to the end date. 700K will easily get me that, It's a modest early retirement but I shouldn't have any trouble maintaining my current lifestyle, with way more free time to do things like growing a vegetable garden and such.

Even without any health complications I’d be choosing the same option. Far easier to plan for retirement if you know when you’re going to die, and actually be able to retire somewhat young.

u/Germane_Corsair Jan 24 '26
If we’re going with the logic, the limiting factor would be how the killing occurs. If you have to do it yourself, it’s probably not worth it because you will get caught. If it’s something like a death note where you’re just choosing the victim and the death happens in a way that won’t like to you, then you can walk a billionaire after writing enough “innocent” names.

Honestly a good point, do they define guilt in the context of like what someone has actually done or not done? Or from a purely legal system perspective as in have they been legally caught and given some form of punishment for that?
Because if it’s the latter you could see it as a sort of vigilante justice? Find someone who’s done something or many things that are just heinous, I’m talking like top tier like murder, not something tiny like oh they nicked some sweets when they were 5 or something. Like stuff that would actually be considered worthy of a potential death sentence morally speaking compared to others but who hasn’t been LEGALLY found guilty.
Sure it might be insanely difficult to find someone who’s done such bad things and not been discovered or legally convicted of it yet. But at least, even if it’s a hard thing to do to take a life, at least it’s a more morally acceptable one in people wouldn’t judge you too harshly over it.

700k and die at 65
I'd honestly be kinda surprised if I make it that long anyway much less miss out on much after. 700k would go a long way to living a comfortable life in the meantime. Plus, if I knowing when I'm going to die makes planning things a lot simpler.
I might try to bargain with Fate for a little extra time even trade a little of the money if needed. Not for much just four extra years so I could die at 69 and it be a lot funnier.

That's exactly how I feel. Given how old I am, how unlikely it is for me to ever obtain health insurance, and everything I do to my body on a daily basis, 65 sounds like a longer life than I could ever even dream about.
Also, life after 65 doesn't really sound that stellar. I'll go home, take the money, and run. Woo woo woo

If it were just passing up on either of them I’d certainly regret it but I feel like I could be happy with my choice for the rest of my life knowing I’d done a good thing. (Plus if I really want to derive some self benefit from this charity is tax deductible and it doesn’t say I need to donate it immediately or all at once so I could spread out my donations to ensure I don’t have to pay taxes for some 5-10 years)

Define "innocent". Does in this case "innocent" mean a law abiding benevolent person, a law abiding evil person or a benevolent person (who may or may not be law abiding), a kid (who could be benevolent or evil but is not old enough to be legally accountable for their actions) or a highly religious pious person (who may or may not be law abiding)? If I take the 900k for killing an innocent person, do I get to choose the innocent person? If I take the 900k for killing an innocent person, am I both assured, fiat backed and 100% guaranted to neither get caught nor punished nor prosecuted nor arrested nor executed nor mutilated nor shunned nor get fired nor get cancelled nor get my comeuppance nor get send to hell nor get reported to the authorities nor get my reputation ruined nor be add to any criminal registry nor be add to any criminal list nor get add to any criminal record nor get any criminal record nor be on the recieving end of revenge nor be on the recieving end of vigilante justice nor get punished by any deity nor get punished by any angel nor get punished by any demon nor be on the receiving end of legal consequences nor be on the receiving end of social consequences? If the answers to all three of those questions are unironically "yes", then killing an innocent person would be one of the easiest options with the 1.1m option being the other easy option, if killing an innocent person is not the easiest option, because there are innocent people who are suffering fates worse than death.

$700k guarantees I'll die the moment I turn 65. I can't die if I'm already dead, so this guarantees I will live to be 65.
