[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother is 80 and we are talking about her financial situation. Her parents lived well into their 90s eating red meat, drinking daily and smoking for decades. She does none of that AND has their genes, so she could easily live another 20 years. Every time I talk about making her money last till she's 100, she says, "Oh I don't want to live that long." So, Mom. What's the plan? Load your pockets with rocks and walk into the sea?[/quote] A friend said her dad told her that when he gets to the point of major cognitive decline, “just drive me off a cliff.” And she was like, well, dad, you know I can’t do that, so…? I need to have this conversation soon with my mom and am dreading it. Sigh. Personally, I’d rather assisted suicide when I’m lucid enough to realize that things are about to go downhill, if given the opportunity.[/quote]
