    Just yesterday, I was thinking how after my parents pass — hopefully not for another a decade or two, if I’m lucky — I’m likely the first one in line on the ol’ chopping block because I’m the oldest child of my family. Kinda put shit in perspective, but not really at the same time because our brains are so good at turning a blind eye to our eventual death.

      Also, dont overlook the value of healthy habits.

      I’ve seen younger siblings who subsisted on coke and PB&j in their retirement pass before their older ones.

        That’s true. But I’d rather go first because I HATE it when my siblings cut in front of me in line.
