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.

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.

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.

Money, because an infinite lifespan would be very boring. I don't want to like outlive my children, and their children, and their children, and so forth.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

But what about when you out live everyone on earth, or even the universe?! You will just be alone...

Thus the dying when the universe ends condition.

Can still die from other things.
