Ok the question isn't really being over 40 v $1 billion, that is too easy, especially at your age.

I'm interested in whether they would do it at their current age right now, clearly for people under 40 its a no brainer for most, so its not worth asking that age group. I think most people my age would take the cash, I'm interested at what age people mind start to turn to the youth. Let's see what the people around 50+ say.

Putting aside things that I wouldn't want to undo, like having kids etc...., think I'd take being in my 20's again, over the cash.

Well he did post after you requested an over 50's vote!!

I'd like the cash please, I'd happily skip forward to 41 to get it.

28 ainec. I'd even take 38. I don't need money to make me happy.

All the money in the world can't buy time. Your dead for eternity.

How old were you when you realised that? I reckon I was at least 30.......

Depends if I could go to 28 knowing what I know now - then definitely. If I'd to go back & make all the mistakes again - nah I'll take the money & be happy with the result of those mistakes, not run through them again.

What about the amount of good you could do for so many generations of your family and others with that much money though ?

I'm massively in the "you don't need money to be happy" as well as "money isn't everything" camps but it does have a lot of positives.

Such a tough spot to balance.

I don't really know what "All the good I could do" would be though. Oh I know I could buy them fancy stuff and make it so as they never had to work again, but as I said, money doesn't buy happiness.

If my dad were choosing between having loads of money or to be 28 again so that he could spend another 40 years with us, I know which one I would want him to pick.

I watched a programme about Terry Pratchet, millionaire author of the 'Discworld' series of novels recently. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. His time is very limited now, and he would gladly give all his millions for a few more years of being able to enjoy the simple pleasures on life. (Which cost nothing anyway)

In the programme, which is called ' Choosing to die' (You can watch it on Youtube) He went to see several terminally ill peope, one of whom was millionaire hotelier Peter Smedley. Peter had decided to go to Switzerland for an assisted suicide. There was no question that he would have given up his millions in a heartbeat to have a little more time.

Frankly, I'm amazed and appalled by some of the comments in this thread, especially the one from Silo Graham, (Sorry Silo) who said "I'd like the cash please, I'd happily skip forward to 41 to get it". 

Andrew Marvell once said:

...but at my back I always hear
time's winged chariot hurrying near..

Well as you get older, you will begin to hear it too. It starts as a gentle sound off somewhere in the distance, and before you know where you are, it's clattering across the cobbles on iron clad wheels. Impossible to ignore. 

Marshall Barer wrote some lyrics, and Don Williams sang them.

I’m just a country boy
Money have I none
But I’ve got silver in the stars
And gold in the morning sun

That pretty much sums it up for me.

I wouldn't sell a year of my life for all the money in the world.
