    Problem is, that you normally don’t know how long you’ll live and cannot plan accordingly.

      I know when I’m going to die, because I’m an independent free thinker. I refuse to face my death on anyone’s terms but my own. I intend to live a rich and fulfilling life, watch my family grow, and then end it at a time of my own choosing, after giving all of my grandkids the tools they need to go on without me.

      If I died to any means but suicide, I wouldn’t think it fair. You can’t fire me, I quit. It’s my life and I’m going to be in control until the last second.

          that literally wouldn’t matter to them, if OP responds i would bet you a lot of a fucking money they would simply say “ok and?” and then leave.

            Big brain comment right here. Did you write that before or after seeing OP did that? Did you write it before or after seeing that I told someone I used the term goober because I was keeping it light hearted?

          That’s true, but irrelevant. We’re talking about managing retirement funds. I’m not going to live longer than my retirement funds last. Dying earlier doesn’t change that.

          And if I did die of natural causes, it would be a tragedy. I only want to die by my own hand, I don’t want chance to take my death from me.

          The audacity to use the word goober as an insult in a comment this stupid is baffling.

          Of course you’re right. Obviously.

          Did you not get the point?
