    Isn’t dying poor a good thing? I don’t want to live poor, but you can’t take it with you. I’d ideally spend my last dollar right before taking my last breath.

      If you’re unmarried and have no descendants sure. Although you’re kind of screwing them over, these days, you dying is the only way your kids are ever going to be able to buy a house.

      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.

            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?
