I should also be able to accrue interest on my savings account say 100,000
years from now if my DNA were preserved.

I've read books that suggest having DNA is not enough to recreate the
organism, I don't recall the argument exactly, but something like you
need an egg to put it in.

Obviously [1] the information in your head, and anything else that comes
under nurture or environment would not be recreated.

The old joke is invest a penny for 200 years at 10% and by the miracle
of compound interest you'll have a million pounds which by then will be
worth nothing.

[1] physical law - causality.
