you immediately had to be 10 years older, missing whatever happened in those 10 years, would you take the money?

I offer this as one who, if I took the offer, might not be alive to see it (I plan to be, but might not): Even if you are 20, dont do it. What you missed - who you didnt know, didnt kiss, didnt raise, didnt laugh/cry with - cant be bought, and you would find yourself willing to trade the money to have it back.
Is like losing a lamb to a wolf. The lamb is worth $100. What is lost is the generations of new, never seen lambs, the blank future.

magic money machine aged just me?
If we are skipping to 2035 am I blissfully unaware of what happens in those 10 years or do I have to face all that loss and whatnot all at once?

but it's 10 years in the future and I have 10 Mill in the bank? Sign me up.
And look for the party invitations. On my yacht.
I mean it feels like it was just yesterday it was 10 years ago, 'cept I don't have $10 mill.
10 years ago I had just started working in Clemson (for 2/3 of my previous salary). I moved up to Clemson 10 years ago next week. I lived in the Courtyard Marriott for a few weeks until my house was finished.

all of high school and college. But if I am just 10 years older and get to experience that with them, then SIGN ME UP for a $10M paycheck to be early 50's.

So, you opt to age 10 years, but, whoops, you @died and no $10 million...as opposed to just instantly aging 10 years with no time missed...something to think about.

I would miss youngest sonof's senior year and all of his college years running track. I would probably also miss both kids getting married and possibly the birth of some grandchirrens.
Also, what would happen if I deaded during that time, who would get the money?
