Would you go back 10 years of your life or go forward 10 years of your life with half a million dollars?

A poll from Reader's Digest had asked the obvious;
"Would you rather lose 10 pounds forever or gain $10,000?"

The obvious majority answer is money.
And to ask back in life or forward in life, the answer is obviously back in life.
How about we add in half a million dollars going forward 10 years?

Should be interesting to see what you all got to say on this.

Knowing what I know now and being able to apply it to ten extra years of life I would probably be able to earn the half a million and then some.

I certainly would not want to lose any of my precious time here on earth as that would mean less time with friends and mostly family. Sure I could buy a lot of stuff but I certainly couldn't buy time.

Not for a half a million nor all of the money in the world would I trade ten years, or even one year of my life.

Now if you had asked me that question when I was 30 I might have had to think about it longer.

I think that the answers will depend on the age of the person answering. ;-)
