When you're old and grey....

Like the majority of elderly in western countries: we'll be cared for by nurses at some hospital. A lot of old people with big families die alone, having children does not guaranty an happy end of life. Morphine does.

In all seriousness: my plan is for painless self-delivery with a helium exit-bag. That beats having to lay (forced by medical staff) in bed all day, watching daytime TV in a soggy diaper praying for death. I will end my time here on earth at a time of MY choosing.

I am going to die at the ripe old age of 78 from a heroin overdoes in a Malaysian whorehouse.

If we're mentally ill, it won't matter whether we have family or not, odds are we won't remember them or recognize them, assuming they so much as visit at that time. In western culture, older people often live alone or in nursing facilities. Family doesn't always mean much once your kids have their own kids to think of, jobs to work at, and their own lives to live. They can't and won't always be there if you need them.

When the end does come, there are drugs to ease us away, make it a truly painless death. I'd rather a good dose of morphine than someone crying by my bed with the need to be consoled when they aren't the one dying.

I've resolved that my life is over at the point where I can no longer care for myself due to physical or mental limitations.

Dementia is ok for the demented. Everyone else is bothered.

Throughout life, learn to live and how to die.

As long as you live, keep learning how to live.

There's nothing bad about death except the thing that comes before it: the fear of it.

old age is an abomination onto mankind, Some people believe that they will find younger people in the community, to take care of them when they are sick, however this outcome seems less likely with each generation. even being confined to a nursing home ,a thin that used to terrify people, is better than being left to die on the streets.

the only hope is : 1. raise enough money for retirement 2. postpone age related degeneration as much as possible.

in the mgtow context some people still hold onto the notion that getting married will somehow give them more security in old age, now how many old people do you know who have benefited? do you think this will apply to gen X/Y getting old?

Hopefully I'll be dead before I'm 60 but in any case I'd probably just painlessly suicide. Way better than having a severe mental illness or being physically unable to do things, even if you escape those you'll likely be swallowing pills everyday just to stay alive and feel somewhat normal
