Money, I wouldn't wanna live forever. Maybe I'd trade some of the money for the no aging thing, as long as I croaked at some point. Around 100 sounds good

It seems from the question like you could still kill yourself or die accidentally in the living forever thing so... yay?

Infinite life. Allows you to eventually get unlimited money. Plus, with knowing history you could hopefully steer the world to a better place by consulting politicians etc. Also, when it comes to that point, space travel. Only condition I'd add is the end of the universe allows your demise.

Ya you can die from an accident at any point, just not from aging or disease.

This is always my top choice if I could have any type of immortality. I don't want to die, but knowing I still can would make me still appreciate life. Ofcourse all my loved ones would have to have the same condition.

...infinite lifespan in regards to dying of aging or disease,...

Can still die from other things.

There's that theory of living forever that states if you live long enough the hours turn to minutes; days to hours; months to days, etc. You wouldn't be able to keep up... Doesn't that intimidate you?

Seems like a fair trade to me. You would probably develop some pretty wicked math / calendar tracking abilities after all that time

If I had infinite time, then every day would become a smaller ratio of my overall life. Sure, it'd seem shorter. Also, a much better excuse for procrastination. My biggest fear is disappearing from this world without being significant, just another brick in the wall.

Lazarus Long went back and forth between rich and poor so many times just because it made his infinite life more interesting.

Defenitly Money because living into eternity isnt something I want, it would get boring and lonely.

With infinite life I can acquire infinite money... And if infinite lifespan is only in regards to dying of age or disease, I can become mortally wounded and punch my clock whenever I've had enough.

I'll take the cash, live once, have fun, love life.

I myself am leaning towards infinite life but there is a chance it could go horribly wrong. If I die sometime within my normal lifespan I basically wasted the opportunity to live out my wildest dreams.

With the injury condition, I'm afraid I'd become paranoid and stop going outside altogether, and start believing everyone was out to get me killed.

I get that, but most death comes from disease and/or aging. I think that betting on not getting into a very unlikely event is the right call.

Having infinite money makes money completely worthless. Having an infinite lifespan is basically worthless because you could still die from millions of other things, but I'd rather pick that because it's worth something. I'd still probably die within a hundred years though.

It doesn't make money worthless at all. Just choose how much you spend of it.

Edit: Obviously hide the fact that you have infinite money lol.

Infinite money would only devalue money if everyone had infinite money. But in this case it's just like being extremely well off for yourself.

I would definitely take the money. It has more options than living forever. living forever would mean that you would have to live off the radar because it is not common to live forever, so when someone finds out you are likely to be snatched up and investigated and experimented on like the aliens at Roswell. So I would take the money, but you can't (in modern society) just waltz around spending money left and right and not eventually get investigated. I have a plan for that though. I start out getting a job with the skills that I already have and I start saving money from that job and start spending my infinite supply for luxuries (assuming that it is cash and not digital). Once I have enough money I go to a title loan store and find out where they sell their vehicles because most have lots. I slowly start buying cars and fixing them and selling them. In my state you can sell 10 cars without being taxed at the end of the year. I slowly build up my extra income until I have enough to invest the $15000 I now have in my savings into a start up company that I start. Launder my infinite money through while actively investing and buying companies in my field until I reach the point that I no longer have to worry about questions on how I have my 25 car collection.
