[QUOTE="russperry, post: 1392902, member: 22548"] That's a great summary of how I feel about things. I'm watching my parents aging now and know that the end for them is in the not-too-distant future. Can they maintain a reasonable quality of life at this point and if so, for how long? Is that where I want to end up? i'm pretty sure not, so I'm still doing stuff that's too dangerous for most 50 somethings and honestly not being overly concerned with the safety aspects. I've been trying to convince my wife that if something catastrophic happens to me on one of my ridiculous trips or adventures, its really a win for her. The life insurance from work pays off to the tune of a couple $M, and then that and the retirement money goes twice as far since there's one less mouth to feed (and no a$$ to wipe when I can't do it for myself [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/uhoh.gif[/IMG]) so it's like a 10x improvement in her quality of life. Even more upside is that she can pursue the pool boy she's been drooling over all these years! [/QUOTE]
