I remember this article when it first came out. It was like a gut punch. Things like this are so scary and you can do everything right and still die early. When I read he died a few months later it was just horrible to me. I still think about this story often and it scared me to my core that I could have undiagnosed cancer and be dead in months.
- searchableguy 6y agoSame. Why I am against the idea of ever having a family unless I have a fuck you pile of cash. At least that way, you won't have many regrets and you should be able to hire someone to take care of things that you won't live to. It won't be 100% same as when you were there but at least, it won't be the worst. Death isn't as scary as the idea of leaving someone dependent on you behind. They might become dysfunctional without you.

- searchableguy 6y agoYeah, you are right. Though, you stil require high income to go for higher plans (at least here). My aim would be for my family to live a luxurious life without having to work again. That requires more than life insurance money.
- VRay 6y agoAt any of the big corporate jobs I've held, it's been pretty easy to get life insurance for 8x my yearly salary I think my wife could take 8 years of Silicon Valley salary and retire off it in a lower cost of living area, although you're right that it wouldn't be a luxurious monetary worry-free existence..
