My father passed away a year today, very suddenly at the age of 73.
A perfectly fit healthy man, still running his own business. you wouldn't even place him for being 73. So its nonsense to assume life is over by 70.
for one thing you have considerably more wisdom and in all likelihood wealth, than you do in yr teens or twenties. You possibly have retired in yr 60's and have the pleasure of time and enjoying yr self.
if you are ill/disabled/infirm, I think it'd be irrelevant about yr age.

LOL.....what are these exciting lives you all lead?
Most of us are probably half way to 70 already, and in stable jobs with a pension having a few holidays a year?
Most of us have little chance of B. The reality of B is you will probaly reach a pensionable age and have spunked you money leading an exciting life, and spend your retirement just above poverty.

Most peoples lives are pretty dull. Work / sleep / work / sleep.
Given the chance to do it again, and be guaranteed a more enjoyable care free fun life, most of us would jump at that chance.

Read the OP again. It states you die, and are given a second chance. You choose A or B.

I think I honestly do the same as what I'd do if I have 10 times the wealth.
OK, I'd spend more doing it, but I'd not suddenly change what I do.

I don't need much excitement, I am happy the way I am - in fact you are describing me 
I would rather see my kids grow up to be old themselves, than die young and leave them behind. You can still have a good life even if you are boring!
