I'm not pursuing health and wealth (although they are a nice bonus to have), I'm pursuing negligible aging - for a start. As of now, no amount of money can give you this (see also: Steve Jobs, pancreas).

Of course, if I had enough money, I could directly finance aging research. However, I think I have better chances going through academy.
