Would we be removing month(s) from the backend or skipping ahead month(s) beginning at the snap?
Like others, typically the end isn’t all too great assuming in old age. May be a decent trade off to shave off poor time. Could also get hit by a bus next week. Immediate loss of months to “fast forward” wouldn’t be as well received. Had a great time with my daughters this weekend that would have been missed and wouldn’t be worth the coin. |

Single event? 10 snaps easy.
On demand? Different strategy altogether. |

Front end is too hard to wrap my head around. The world jumps a month ahead and I miss out? Definitely changes things, and I'd avoid unless absolutely necessary. If I didn't have kids, I'd probably do a few. |

Example #1: God already knows your life is coming to an end on May 15th, 2025. You snap once, so now your date moves to April 15th, 2025. Example #2: God has planned your death date for March 27th, 2024. You snap today……….you’re done immediately!!! |

The other side to the question is: would you spend $100K to add a month to your life, one month at a time?

shiiiiiit.... i'm losing a lot more of my life working myself to death anyway. I'd snap a few times a year and quit my job.... would gain a lot more life by not having to work than i would working but having a slightly prolonged life.
Just cause you're alive longer doesn't mean you're living life longer.

I think $500K would be the magic number for one snap from me.
We are in a really good place to be able to retire quite comfortably in a few years and this (tax free) would be enough to let us say the hell with it and retire immediately. I would happily trade one month at the end, that I will be in who knows what state, for a couple of years much earlier!

If that's the case fuck that I wouldn't snap.... however it's on demand.... so as long as you don't die suddenly it's a great insurance policy. Just start snapping on your death bed. |

…God has decided you will die 04/01/2025 after a year long battle with cancer, meaning you’d be diagnosed with cancer on 04/01/2024. If you snapped today, it would effectively move all death related circumstances forward by a month. You would be diagnosed with cancer today. |

Bollocks to long life - my body is falling apart as it is. That said, I don't have much need for money, so I'd probably take it easy for the time being.

It's funny because what's 1 month, what are ppl really gonna do w those 30 so days? What are they, Bill Gates earning like 23,573$ per second and now a whole month's productivity is gone? It's just silliness and reminds me of that topic I raised earlier: would you rather be some really rich+powerful person (e.g. Rockefeller, Louis XIII, etc) but live in the 19th or 18th century or even earlier or now as a reg Joe? Now, I accounted for the lure of modern conveniences like toilets, electricity, AC, etc, and said that if I could have that part of my memory erased it's a no-brainer as wealth is relative, but many ppl still wanna be reg Joes cuz internet, etc lmao. Then they argue about lifespan but what is quantity vs quality? Whoopie-do, working as a modern slave till one drops at 90. Congrats.

Also no dementia. If that were to happen the end couldn't come soon enough for me.
