How much would you pay for eternal youth?

That is to say, you'll stay biologically 20 years old forever. You still can die from accidents, and you'll still face a normal 20 year old's risk of disease and stuff.

Go into debt 50 trillion dollars. I know it's a big number, but I have hopefully an eternity to pay it back.

@Dan193 I dunno, the interest might make that debt rise too fast.

@BlueVeins Maybe take a reasonable interest, bellow 0.01. Start a business, franchise it, and get into politics. Honesly, I think 100-200 years would be enough to pay it back.

@BlueVeins Also at the same time that's eternal youth, I'd have to be the biggest bidder, basically blow all the other bidders out of the water. I couldn't offer 100 billion and expect to get it.

@Dan193 I don't know if you can get that low though. I mean, .01(%?) is below inflation levels; the lender would be losing purchasing power.

@BlueVeins but usa has been in debt like 20 trillion, and it doesn't seem to rise that high that quick.

@Dan193 Interest from debt is a pretty big part of the US deficit, and it's about 2.6%.

@BlueVeins So you're trying to say that it rises 500 billion each year?
Well actually as I say it, it doesn't seem that much on a nation scale in comparison to the debt they already have.
So from 50 trillion that will be about an additional trillion. Yeah.. that's.. a lot. I'd have to rule the world or get the sellers assassinated xD
Jk but I feel like it's doable, could get into selling arms as well, those people make a ton of money, especially if you're in politics and can get those transactions, on a nation level, approved.
