Is it possible to be cryonically preserved without being rich ?
Despite the high cost, it is not necessary to be rich to pay for cryonics. Most cryonicists fund their cryonics arrangements with life insurance policies − which are not expensive when purchased when you are young and healthy. Insurance premiums are often less than the cost of cable television. Of course, life insurance is not inexpensive or necessarily available when you are elderly or terminally ill − which is why it makes sense to plan for cryonics well in advance. It is also helpful to form a local cryonics emergency response group of volunteers who can provide mutual aid. (For more on this subject, see Emergency Preparedness for a Local Cryonics Group.
