What would you choose?
From a poll in Prevention Magazine, 74% of respondents said that "they would opt for $1 million over being (their) perfect weight forever". That kind of surprises me. Right at this moment, even being as broke as we are right now, I think I'd rather be my perfect weight forever. Which would you choose?

The cash! haha!
Money Money Money Moooooney
SHOW ME THE MONEY!
I think I'd chose the weight one, because I guess you could get the million dollars but die the next day of any number of diseases where one of the main causes is obesity. That wouldn't be fun!! If we all really wanted to, we could make our own million, I've read about lots of different people from varied backgrounds who were able to do it. I wouldn't die from not having a million, but I could from being overweight. I know that just being at your ideal weight doesn't make you completely healthy, but it eliminates the obesity risk factor from all those diseases.
That's no fun, Jamie! SM
I also thought about the health. Although honestly, I'd just love to go to a store and pick something off the rack and have it fit. Plus I figure that if I had a million dollars, it would just get spent and be gone. Or I would end up with a house, car, etc. that I couldn't afford to keep. Plus I don't believe that money is the answer to all lifes problems. I also agree that anyone can make money and pay off debt if they put their mind to it and make some sacrifices.
You two are downers! SM
You know, not having money can stress you out! Stress can lead to death, in a way. I still say the money. I can always invest some of it and live frugal. I would make it last as long as possible. I honestly still would want the money. I can buy myself some exercise equipment and work out to get healthy and in shape. I'd then be rich and sexy! :) You can be thin and not healthy at all. But I'd be thin and healthy from working out in my very own exercise room!
...because we all know that everyone who owns exercise equipment and has in in their home is thin. I don't believe for a minute that you wouldn't use it to go to Disney (over and over and over). Ha ha.
I agree with Charity. Bring on the money. I can buy weight loss!!
The Disney idea sound perfectly normal to me, in fact it is a great idea.
yep, I would take a very nice long trip to Disney and probably a few other places. But I also know that, like Sonya said, and Todd agrees with me, "I can buy weight loss!!" LOL
Lura,
Ok, what if the question was restated. If you had the choice between all the books you could ever want, or your perfect weight forever, what would you choose?
LOL ;)
I'd still pick the perfect weight. I'd pick the money over the books though.
Yes, I would choose financial security over books too! :) I can always buy the books I want or get them at the library and only keep the ones I REALLY wanted to keep. Although I could build on a library to my house and store my book collection there! Oh the possibilities..... :)
