I want to live longer.

Because the first issue (1967) of the New Zealand $10 note (UNC) is now (after 50 years) worth 30 times it's face value, I purchased 100 of the first issue of the new notes (this year).
After one day they were selling at a 70% mark-up, so I am well on the way to having my fortune. The trouble is . . . . if I have to wait 50 years I will (then) be one of the oldest living humans on the planet.

Who wants to live that long? Certainly not me.

[disclaimer] Don't listen to this fellow......

 

Are you referring to this?

A VERY nice (1960-1967) note, indeed. In UNC condition it's C.V. is over $NZ800. Unfortunately (for me) my collection only goes to the 5 Pound denomination.

To answer your question, 'Decimal' currency was introduced into New Zealand on the 10th July, 1967, and the first $NZ10 to appear (after your note) is now worth over $NZ300. THAT is the note that I was referring to.

You might say that I am 'green' with envy.

 

I like the disclaimer :>) Provided the quality of the life you are living is worth while.

 

Mel? I'm drunk.......

 

And the quality of life is always worth living........

 

So, this guy said if i eat this greasy lunch, it will take a week off my life. I said, "when im 95 (edited - language) in my diaper, pretending to have turrets syndrome....I will not miss a week"

 

Ain't heard that in a LONG time!

 

I'll be right over :>) Never drink alone.

 

"Tourette's Syndrome", my son has it. It has been a long haul for him. He is now 37.

 

Nothing ment by it, I am a EMT who worked with developmentally disabled for a living. It is a hard battle, a little love goes a long way.

 

Should have bought 500 and got out in 10.

 

There are scientists who, in all seriousness and with a straight face, will tell you that the first person to live to be 1000 years old is alive today.

 

I'd like to shake his hand.
