I think if you were going to die in a year you would stop doing everything with a payoff more than a few months in the future. It's a mistake to think that what "really matters" is whatever pays off now instead of later. When you have longer to live, it makes sense to work now to get more of what "really matters" five, ten, and twenty years down the line.
