[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My greatest fear in life is getting put in a home or getting stuck with one of my worthless kids. I would kill myself first.

What do you plan to do when you're old?  Honestly, those are pretty much your two options.  Very few people can live alone until they die. [/quote]

NP here.  I fully intend to kill myself when I am elderly, as soon as I recognize that I can't live on my own anymore.  I even know how I will do it.  I watched three grandparents (two great) die lingering deaths in assisted living/nursing homes, and our family paid for the best care...but that kind of "life", with its humiliating loss of dignity and freedom, is hellish.  I made my choice when I was 16 and was making regular visits to my great grandma.  I will NEVER go into a home.

That will only work if you don't become incapacitated by stroke or accident or some other way where you have the luxury of carrying out your own demise. [/quote]
