Well, as long as we're considering all sorts of hypothetical scenarios, consider this one:

1. You die in a year or two from terminal illness or an accident.

2. You purchased a life insurance policy when you were healthy, so cryonics is very cheap.

3. Unforeseen advances in AI/nanotech/medicine allow you to be revived in just 15-20 years.

4. You are back from the dead and find subsistence (let alone wealth) in the near future superior to your old life.
