Would you rather be 80 years old with $100 million, or 20 years old and broke?

The question was asked on Twitter. Story here: https://www.lucianne.com/2022/04/16/twitter_user_asks_would_you_rather_be_80_years_old_with_100_million_or_20_years_old_and_broke_heres_how_people_responded_83378.html

You can guess what most said, I'm in the 20 and broke camp. Except for military service at that age, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times:-)

Depends on when this takes place. If it was the past (or maybe future) I'd pick 20 and broke.
Given the state of the world I might pick the 80 and loaded. I could do a lot of damage w 100M and zero fucks 80yr old.

And if I pick 20, do I get to keep the knowledge I've gained since the first time? Returning to my clueless 20yr old self wouldn't be my first choice.

20 years old and broke. I've been there before, and I know how the story plays out.

20 and broke, invest in Amazon when it was just a book store, Google when it was just a couple of guys with a few computers, and microshaft when it still ran on DOS.

Take that cash and become an early Elon, only more WN.

Yes, youth is worth infinity dollars.

But imagine all the funko pop dolls you could buy for 5-15 years. The limited mobility won't matter with A-M-A-Z-O-N. Let's do this reddit.

Not with mere millions. That's billionaire territory there!

80 with 100 mil, because of all the millions acquired along the way. You don’t usually get it all at once.

20 and broke. You can always make more money, you cannot make more time.

20 years old physically with 80 years of experience and knowledge and wisdom, and a 100 million dollars, thanks.

Money is fake, your body is real.
