Counter-devil's advocate: The older you get, the more (exponentially sometimes) expensive it gets to keep you going from day to day. Depending on one's health, the cost of surviving an extra 6 months could be as much as the cost to stay living during the previous 10 years. |

Regardless of the cost of living, death does very strange things to people and can flip an entire history of a relationship on its head. It happened with my family where a relatively calm and expected death ended up estranging members of the family because of what the deceased had written in the will.
I really am not looking forward to my parents' passing, as I live (and probably will still be) living abroad, though I am executor of their estate. Inheritance always brings out bad blood.
