Would you rather live 35 years as a billionaire or live a normal life until 90? Why?

Here are the two choices:

1. Live 35 years ( birth to 35) with no ailments and unlimited riches but die right at your 35th birthday no matter what?

2. Live a normal life with normal ailments (nothing debilitating) but never rich (about 40k/year) until 90 years old?

Which would you choose and why?

    40k a year wouldn't get me far at all here in Southern California. I'd be living in a dump.

    I think I'd rather just be upper middle class and live until like 65-70? I think that would be an all right trade-off :)

    Live until 35. Why live longer? With a billion you can travel the world, have no ends of fun and fullfil most of your dreams

    Definitely, 35. Hopefully I'd also have some common sense to give back to family/people/country too!

    Well, right now 35. I could do everything I want and I'd still have 20 years. I would then donate the rest to cancer research UK and know while I was rotting my money would be spent well.

    I'd rather be poor and have a long life. I'd get to experience everything someone with too much money never gets to.
