My plan is to check out around age 45 (I’m about 40 now). By then my will to work or deal with life will have about expired. I plan on getting a divorced a year before the deed, so the wife is used to living alone when it happens. I’ll make sure to write a will to leave everything to (ex) wife 6 months before I eat the bullet, so my asshole family members can’t contest it by saying I was insane at the time.
I have heard objections to this plan and this my summarized response:
- At the point at which I begin operating at a financial loss, I’m more harm to wife/pets than good. Thus the need at that point to terminate the situation.
- If I’m long-term unemployed or in a pysch ward I’m taking money out of my loved ones’ hands.
- If I spend $20k in a mental hospital, or spend $20k of our savings that’s $20k less for wife/pets.
- At that point I’m taking food out of her mouth in a vain attempt to get “well” which will never happen.
Thanks for listening.

Hm. I kind of admire you principles.
I’ve been scrounging off just about everyone for years now, and it feels horrible, plus doesn’t help society.
On the other hand, I wonder what your wife would feel about it. I don’t know.
i think you will regret it. your wife will also feel incredibly guilty.
Yes I agree, you should be able to finalize an amicable divorce and set up an effective alimony / trust fund for your wife in the 3 or 4 years’ time you’ve allotted.
She’d be with Jody, so no interruption of service. That’s very pragmatic and considerate of you, to begin your multi-year plan now.
It’s refreshing: some of us just jump out the nearest window, sash and all.
It is only money. Don’t waste it on treatment that won’t work. But kill yourself about money. Life is deeper than that. Just hard to see it in our fucked up world.
@ flatus: Lol, love the last sentence of ur comment. 😀
i usually post things here with fear that there might be children reading, i wish there was a web site like this within which it was for adults only.
i am 32 currently, i plan on CHECKING OUT at age 38 or so
because i think at around age 35 or so, human body develops worms and so on.
worms transmit thoughts to the brain and make it go to the store to buy chocolate pudding.
if they can do this to the body, what else can they do…
they can make us famous get on tv so we can make money and buy more candy/sugar.
the whole world might be controlled by WORMS.
by the way i am running some real experiments thought wise using google and so on..
i think we can actually literally provide evidence that things blow up when there is no space inbetwen atoms..
and it there is space inbetween atoms then it can never be “REAL”.
or “SOLID”.
so “SOLID-STATE” does not exist.
