Cash-Stripped?
My flatmate insists that he would willingly contract AIDS for £1,000,000 cash.
Would you?

Re: Cash-Stripped?
I haven't got AIDS, or a million pounds, OR the wish to say hello to your (boy)friend with my todger.
So, no, I wouldn't.

Re: Cash-Stripped?
That's a pretty steep price for what other people are willing to do for free.

If you mean HIV then maybe. Probably not AIDS though.

It is hard to imagine Yahwe taking such a harsh stance.

Re: Cash-Stripped?
Obviously your friend has never seen anyone suffering from AIDs.
Sure he'd have an ace life for a few years, but then as his body degraded further and further, what use would that £1,000,000 be to him?
Plus in today's world, £1m isn't actually all that much money. It sounds a lot - but once you've bought a house and been on a few luxury holidays you aren't likely to have much left over.

The main benefit it would bring (which admittedly might not be as much of a benefit if you had AIDS) is that you could avoid working (or give you the freedom to work when you chose). £1m conservatively invested could easily get you £50k a year. Sure, that'd be taxed, but I don't earn anywhere near £50k and that's taxed and yet I still get by (sort of). Obviously if you're going to piss the money away on extravagance then that's another matter.

I've always argued this exact point - £1m in a one-off payment would do me for life.
But it's not worth getting AIDS or HIV for. No unprotected sex ever? Not good

If you are going to die soon why bother buying a house?
But no, not a chance would I do that.

You must be pretty good at it if you're expecting to get a million quid in return.

Nope.
Never done it.
Hence why I think I'd do it for a million.

Basically he is saying that if he could have all of the money and things he wanted for the rest of his life, he wouldn't care that his life might be very short and his death potentially horrendous.
Your flatmate has an inflated view of money and things.

Maybe he just has an optimistic view of how good AIDS treatments are.

He said it was cash, which admittedly raises some issues of how you'd get it into the financial system without being arrested, but I'd probably try my luck (I'm an idiot though).

And yeah you could live off that for a while, but you have to take inflation into account - in 20 years time your £600000 is still only going to be giving you £30K a year, and you may not be comfortable living on that amount.

Well, yeah but if we have inflation of 3% then even in 2060 it'd still be worth 6k + a pension a year in today's money. If housing was sorted out (you'd need to calculate whether it would be cheaper to buy outright or have some sort of mortgage) then that wouldn't be that bad and presumes you've done zero else economic activity in the meantime. You'd also have £100k in the bank (and a house which you could sell back to the bank through one of those equity release things which if you had AIDS I presume they'd love to sign).
Obviously the smart thing to do would be to spend less than you "earn" (lol) and let compound interest work for you. Since I don't earn anything like £30k tax free I presume this is more than do-able.
In actuality I would be both AIDS ridden and broke (and in prison) within a year so the above is academic at best.

If you put it all on red then you could use your winnings to pay the tax on the original million.

As Dante should know only too well, Red is the way to go.
