Would you live in a society where you are paid with time instead of money?



Concept comes from the movie, In Time, which starred Justin Timberlake. You stop aging at 25 years old. From this point, you are given a watch with a 1 year count down timer. If the timer hits 0, you die instantly. You can add time to your watch by working a 9-5 job. Anything that you need to purchase, like say food, clothes, cars etc requires you to give up time on your watch. So for example, buying groceries might cost you 5 days on your watch. Buying a car could cost you up to 1 year of time depending on the car.

I'm going to have to get paid in money too because living forever as a broke-ass wouldn't be worthwhile.

You bought things with time in the movie
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

No it would effectively be the same type of society only elites would live thousands of years while middle class and peasants gamble their time on risky ventures to get ahead with most dying by 40.

We already do. Time is money.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
