So at least €100.000, although I probably wouldn't go through with it in the end...

And ehm, living a healthy life doesn't need to be expensive.
It doesn't have to be expensive, but depending on how healthy you want to be it CAN be expensive. For example, if someone went for 10 million, they have enough money to pay for a personal nutritionist Could pay them 50k per year.. Even if you only kept them 20 years, that's 1/10th of the overall money you get!

Not to mention you'd have enough money to buy a home outright, and your own home gym, etc.. I think of it like people going to college. Some people sacrifice time to live better in the long run.

But I voted for 1 million. I make a little over 60k per year now,, giving up one year for a lump sum that would take 15+ years of work to get sounds like a very fair trade to me. I'd be inclined to go for more money if I had the option, but if I was offered 1 mil... bye year.
