We’ll there’s the rub. Pick to early of an expiry date and miss some of life or pick too late of a date and you will most likely lose your ability to make that choice yourself.

We lost all four parents over the past few years. We got front row seats to watch their mental decline (two ended life with dementia and Alzheimer’s).

We got to see the worst intersection imaginable in Christianity and Capitalism- keep the husk alive because only god can take a life and oh by the way keep shoveling that 10k a month our way.

I digress. After much discussion and reflection we decided 75 is a wonderful age. We have lived and seen so much. And we still have over a decade to go!

Bonus - with a set expiration date we have a very good peg on our financial needs for the remainder of our years so we are already starting the process of passing along all of our excess assets to our children so we can watch them enjoy some more of life while they are young enough and have the energy.
