If cash wasn't a thing, I'd be all in on creating a system that lets you transfer your memories and brainpower into another body or a robot.

I'll let you laugh at this like others, but I'm serious.

As you might expect, there's a Black Mirror episode not far from that (IIRC "White Christmas"). And several other works of literature.

You will enjoy Netflix series Carbon. Exact same basis for the series.

Assuming you are referring to Altered Carbon, I would definitely suggest the books, too (or first, IMO).
