RE: A Million Dollars, But... - Mr EliteL - Sep 23rd, 2022
Yeah, don't want to poison myself, even if the chances are it doesn't happen for a long time but eventually. Stomach pains is enough, don't want to go to hospital for food poisoning. Although I suppose it can happen without taking the million so...I'll just go by the chance increases after I take the money. So still no.
A million dollars, but you must live in the wild for a week.

A million dollars, but you need to give up video gaming. You can still own video game items like posters and figures, but any actual video games must be gone, and you are not allowed to play them ever again.

I feel like I'm half living this life currently, so I'd be content with at least watching others play. I may regret this, though. So...yes.
A million dollars but you have no control over what it's spent over. It is spent on things that benefit you, however (food, shelter, healthcare).

Spent over? As in the remainder of the money is bought on random stuff? Well hey, it covers my food, shelter, and insurance, so the rest of the random items can be given as gifts and donated to charity. I'll take it!
(also totally didn't meant to skip EL's question. Not sure how I missed it)1 million dollars, but you must have your head permanently buzzed/shaved/waxed for the remainder of your life. No wigs, no hair growing back, just smooth

As for your question, I'd do it. Would probably be weird at first but I think I could find a way to pull the look off like plenty of other people do.
A million dollars but you have to lose all of your limbs and can not have prosthetic replacements.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - Mr EliteL - Sep 27th, 2022
Yeah I avoided specifics in my "live in the wild" one to be kind, but maybe I should've added just a little bit.

An easy heck no. Prosthetics being out of the question made it even easier, but I would've still said no. My original limbs are too precious!
A million dollars but whenever bad weather hits, you must spend the entire duration of it outside. Rain, snow, hail, thunder, boiling heat, the works.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - ShiraNoMai - Sep 28th, 2022
Ooh. You know what, I'll take it. I find extreme weather fascinating. I had a childhood dream of being a storm chaser so this checks out
A million dollars but all of your senses have been nullified to about 5% usage (Taste, touch, smell, hearing and sight) permanently.

Solid no for me. I'm always dreading life when I have a cold and can't taste xD
A million buckeroons... but you must only travel by horse. You are not permitted in a car, bus, plane, or any other form of transportation.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - ShiraNoMai - Oct 4th, 2022
Nah. Basically landlocking me to this Western hemisphere. I'd like to see the rest of the world tbh, not worth the million.
A million dollars but you are locked into your current job situation until 401k retirement age. You also can't advance or downgrade positions within your job, and if you're presently unemployed, well, now you have 1 million dollars to your name until retirement age
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - Moonface - Oct 20th, 2022
Ugh, no. I would never do my current job until I retire no matter what the pay is. XD
A million dollars but for every $100,000 you spend, you will die a year earlier than you would've normally. So spending all of it will cut 10 years off your life.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - Kyng - Oct 24th, 2022
Ermm... I'll take it, but I'll only spend it if my life gets really bad!
$1 million, but inflation gets so bad that it'll soon only be worth $1,000.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - ShiraNoMai - Oct 24th, 2022
I'll take it. $1000 is still $1000 more than I had before
$1 mil but you lose functionality in your hands.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - Mr EliteL - Oct 25th, 2022
You've got to be kidding, not losing my hands for that.
A million dollars, but everything you currently own, including what's in your bank and live in vanishes leaving you with just that million.
RE: A Million Dollars, But... - Kyng - Oct 31st, 2022
Nope... what I have is probably worth less than the million, but it's of too much sentimental value
. (And then there's the inconvenience of having to replace it all!)A million dollars, but you have to eat nothing but nutrient paste for the rest of your life.

A million dollars, but you have to give up a happy memory in order to get it.
