If you're going to die soon...

[Pro Tour Punditry]

You're all very strange

Nothing like a happy, cheery thread to buck us up.
As others have said.....depends on many things.
I am retired so, like drago, know not what the word employment means.
In my case.......cycle every other day. Play golf alternate days. Get bladdered every night.

 

[Markymark]

They say the first person who'll live to 200 has already been born.

I believe that person is me.

 

[Jody]

On a side note I wonder if people who’ve got a few months to live ever go murderer somebody they hate and then just take an overdose?

Deep. But I reckon yes.

[Drago]

Cool, it turns out I am going to die and there is nothing I can do about it! Will they make the cheque payable to me?

If you're still breathing, yes!

 

[screenman]

I enjoy everyday now so I doubt I would change much.

 

[colly]

Depends on the prognosis and how much finance is in the bank. If I had enough cash and not long to live then work would be the last thing I would do.

I hope you don't mean that !

I suppose it would depend on how long you had before the big event. If it was say 12 months then sell up do everything you ever wanted to do but never quite got round to doing. If it was 10 mins........................

Mrs @BoldonLad often concerns herself about the fact that we may leave some cash to our spendthrift offspring. I cannot say it bothers me either way, since, by definition, I will not be here to see it. My usual answer to her is...... "right, so, we estimate when we are going to die, and then work out how to spend all of our money before that date, what happens if we wake up, the morning after, and we are not dead? ". Even those pronounced "terminally ill" do not know precisely when the reaper will call (unless the buy themselves a one way ticket to Switzerland).

Travel the length and breadth of north London.

Death in service usually pays once you're diagnosed as terminally Ill. You don't have to wait until you actually expire.

For my friend and colleague it made better financial sense for her to take proper retirement once she found out it was terminal. That way her family get a better pension and also an amount from the union I think.

I'd try to get to all the places I'd love to see.

 

[pawl]

Don’t take out HP over 3years or start reading war and peace.

You might not be able to. My friend was so weak from the cancer and chemo, she couldn't even manage the weekend in Skegness they'd organised as a honeymoon after their fast-track wedding. Her bucket list became a day trip with the kids to the sea life centre, which she did manage.
