Win the lottery

Outliving everyone you love means watching them all die, a form of suffering no amount of money can prevent
Quality of life matters more than quantity; extra decades of isolation and frailty offer diminishing returns
Financial freedom unlocks experiences and opportunities that simply extending a lifespan cannot provide

Live twice as long

Aging half as fast means staying healthy and capable far longer; a 150-year-old body has the bones of a 75-year-old
