Dead at 21?
Dying old or dying young? Given the two choices, which would I prefer? Have been having the thot eversince some donkey years ago... Ermm... Am I afraid of dying young??? I guess so... not the death.. but the dying part. I want to die in my sleep, peacefully with no pain and suffering. But that's very unlikely given the fact that most of us die from something, some are terrible, some are horrific.
Some of us die from terminal diseases, some die from road accidents. This is a cold fact to swallow. But, are we prepared to die? That's another story. I have a beautiful 5-year old daughter. The thot of leaving her alone in this world is too painful for me to digest. God, I love her so damn much, it hurts. I want to take the permanent vacation once I have put everything in order for my beloved daughter - financially.
That's when financial planning kicks in. When your total net-worth is in the negative, it's not a good time to die.
