[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep a box of ammo in the safe.[/quote] This. No way I am budgeting for skilled nursing or memory care. I will leave this world before that happens. Why do people think we were ever meant to live that way? Science makes our bodies live longer than they were meant to and left the brain behind. [/quote] Having watched it happen a few times, the vast majority of people don’t do this even if they think they will. You still feel like yourself while you’re declining so it doesn’t feel like “time” and then it’s too late. [/quote] Exactly. My parents always swore they’d crash the car into a piling once they became infirm. Instead Dad spent four years in a nursing home with Alzheimer’s. Very few people can actually pull the trigger (literally) when the time comes.[/quote] This. The closer you get to death the less appealing it sounds over the alternative. [/quote]
