The Time Travel Fund[tm]

| We establish a fund in current time. You make a small
| contribution to the fund, and in a few hundred years
| that small amount grows to a very large amount. From
| that fund, moneys will be taken and used to retrieve
| you, perhaps seconds after you join, perhaps even
| moments before your recorded death, perhaps some
| other point in your lifetime. Further, the fund may
| even pay to have you "rejuvenated" medically
| (assuming this is scientifically possible at that
| time,) and support you financially for a number of
| years. (Note: Retrieving you just before the moment
| of death is just one possible scenario, but one that
| would....
| [. . .]
| Our fee is only $10, of which a percentage is placed
| into the fund, to grow and earn interest, and the
| rest is used to pay for overhead in running the
| website, covering legal fees, paying for your
| certificate, and maintaining the database of members.
| [. . .]
| As long as the interest earned out paces inflation
| and taxes, the money will eventually build to where
| the costs of retrieving, rejuvenating and supporting
| you are fully covered. For example, if you make a
| one-time only deposit of just a single dollar, at
| only 5% interest compounded yearly, in five hundred
| years that single dollar will grow to
| $39,323,261,827.22 (That's 39 BILLION with a "B"
| dollars!) Please note that we hope to earn 5%
| interest above taxes and inflation, which is very
| possible, even in today's economy (Tax lien
| certificates, for example, return 16% or better.) If
| we make 5% above taxes and inflation, then it would
| be like having $39 billion in today's money.
