Thinking there's something after death seems to make people lose sight of this world and fail to see the beauty in it, IMO. When I hear religious people ask this question I think their god(s) must feel insulted. Doesn't really answer your full question but that's my thoughts.

To enjoy the chemical pleasures that life has to offer, in its fullest.
Everything happens after you die. Who told you nothing does?
Ngl this type of post on reddit used to make me depresssed as a kid and id make them too, dont want to see them, theres no point in thinking about this thats why ppl either dont or spend all their time religious
if one's life was just loneliness, failed relationships, and soul-draining work it might appear pointless
maybe there is lots of other things to do?
The meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life.
So the billionaires can live their best lives, they need pedons to serve them.
I'm pretty confident that there's an afterlife.
I speak from my own research into related phenomena.
The afterlife is basically the dreamworld but moreso.
