Or perhaps remember the transience of the present.

Yeah I didn't even refer to nursing homes in my comment because those aren't obtainable for people that didn't save up enough to spend $5k-$10k per month on them. I've also visited them and witnessed all the same things you mention. What I was referring to was living in your own house that you can barely still afford while being unable to really care for yourself.

My wife and I budget and save over 50% of our salaries. Sometimes our friends think we're crazy because we "limit our options" by being frugal. I always have to explain back that it's exactly why we're saving money because it gives us new options that aren't available otherwise like buying a home last summer. That only happened through budgeting and saving.

To that I would say it's just inhuman that we largely insist suffering people continue until the body they're trapped in literally gives out. It's a sad, pathetic, demeaning way to go, regardless of whether you can also afford groceries and meds.
I think any adult should be able to have a painless opt out option with a 30 day waiting period. We treat people's lives as if they don't own them to do with what they will. I don't think it's right to encourage or insist people who are breaking down to cling to their misery when there are painless options we refuse to implement.
It's a bit of a bad joke really, we don't care enough about one another to support one another materially tragically, but we also don't want those people to offend our imaginary sky daddies. It's perverse.

Combining my hobbies is how I get the feds at my house.

Assisted suicide is available in some areas. We've had it here in Oregon for a while. The scary part is when your mind goes, you can't partake in this process because they can't verify that it's what you really want because you're no longer of sound mind even though what's remaining into a husk of the person that used to occupy your body and your future will be full of confusion, isolation, and angry outbursts at everyone around you.

A lot of my thought process with saving these days is to leave something behind for my nieces and nephews. I've basically lost any hope of ever enjoying my life because I can't afford a house to be able to work on the hobbies I enjoy and I don't have time anyway. I could buy frivolous bullshit but it doesn't make me happy. I'll keep working until I die or hit a wall where I can't anymore and then off myself. At least maybe they'll get enough of a head start to do something good with their lives. On the off chance the world isn't on fire by then.
