I am in my mid 40’s. My life has been hard. In some ways my life has been a lot of pain > but on the other hand I have had a lot of good times too.
But I am starting to think that the people who burn out and die before they get old have it right. I mean I have been to old age homes and have been around elderly and so forth and I can say. I am not interested in getting really old. It sucks getting old.
I am starting to think that at some point soon I am just going to party my ass off and burn out that way. Like maybe save up a lot of money and then just go out and buy a bunch of drugs and die of a drug overdose
it surely would be better to go that way then to get really old and die slowly in a miserable way

Hopefully, retirement homes will move with the times. I doubt people will be playing chequers there in the future. Maybe they will be doing nitrous and playing Pokémon Go, to the amusement of their grandchildren.
The prune juice is an evergreen, though.
Yeah, well one issue for me is that I dont have anything saved up for my retirement years anyway.
I think I am going to end it before I get to retire
Thanks for sharing this, i’ve had the same mindset since i can remember. Maybe if you have something to live for it would make sense, but if it’s just killing time (like i’ve been doing for years)… yeah, i guess it’s only logical to want to quit while you’re ahead. It still might be worth to stick around If you have the certainty that your last years are going to be good at some point tho.
I often have these thoughts. I am 23 and I am an addict in recovery, trying to make a life for myself. Trying to give myself a chance before I truly give up forever. But I often think, if I ever make up my mind I will just buy as much of my drug of choice as I want and use until I die.
