I'm working as hard as I can to get my life and my cash to run out at the same time. If I can just die after lunch Tuesday, everything will be perfect.

You're kind of a twisted guy.
I like that.

I read much the same thing written by Clive Cussler, the author who wrote all those Dirk Pitt novel in one of his non-fiction books. He said he would want to receive his first bounced check notice on his last breath, or something to that effect.
Check out "X-Box's Banned Commercial" on YouTube. A comment on the brevity of life. I'd post the link, but I think it a bit much for some folks.
When my stepfather was on his death bed, he asked me to help him to the bathroom. His business completed, I helped him back to bed. Just as his head hit the pillow, he breathed his last. He was always very considerate.
A lot of guys here talk about retirement but I'm probably going to have to work the day of my funeral.
Convenient, if you happen to be a mortician.

I hope to go when I'm 90, shot by an irate husband while I'm hopping a fence.
Shorter term....... Too much month at the end of the money!

I have spent a lifetime working for what I have. It's not that much, but I hate the thought of all that effort on my part just being given to someone else for no effort on their part.
So - if I can't take it with me, I'm not going!!!

You write your last check to the undertaker, and it should bounce.
An old gentleman on his death bed told his three sons that he thought it
would be a good idea for each of them to put a hundred dollars in his
coffin before they closed it. He said he might need it for walking around
money in heaven.
The first son, a doctor, put a nice new hundred dollar bill in the coffin.
The 2nd son, a lawyer, put 2 fiftys in the coffin.
The 3rd son, a real estate broker, took the hundred and the two fiftys,
and left a check for $300.
(I must confess, I was a commercial real estate broker way back when
I heard this one.

Me? I just hope to live until I die.
After I'm dead. It's not my problem anymore.
That needs to go on the Forum's list of memorable posts right behind

I retired early just so I wouldn't die at work and miss my long paid vacation. So far I don't have to say my vacation was to short.

40 years ago in NY, all the guys were giving Nelson Rockefeller attaboys for the manner in which he passed, and it had nothing to do with running out of money.
I gots mailbox money. I'm good.

Reading Willie Nelson's book years ago, he always said that he wanted his money and his life to run out at the same time.
Good plan if you can make it happen.
Personally I've got too much money.

My motto is, "I'am not scared of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens". 
I officiated at a graveside service last Saturday and will be doing another one Sunday. Both individuals were long time members of the church of which I was pastor. The new pastor doesn't know these folks due to their long time residence in nursing homes.
There are a few things worse than dying, and sometimes living longer is one of them.

If I remember correctly he was working late on his memoirs.
With his research assistant.
At her apartment.
Died in the saddle so to speak-devoted public servant and statesman to the last.
Even to the end Nelson's wife remained Happy.

When I am called the big staff meeting in the break room My income will stop but not the bills. my guns are in the safe and no one know the combo. I don't have anyone that is interested in my guns. It will no longer be a problem for me. I just hope they serve Pappy Van Winkle.

Rusty, I see you snuck out of your room again...
In forty years of pastoral ministry I have conducted a lot of funerals. Made my mind up years ago, I don't care about money and junk. I do care about my wife and my children and my grandchildren. I've told my wife that I want her to enjoy the money, etc. She is a good woman and can be counted on to take care of the grandchildren, i.e., college, etc. We've managed to help each of the girls get a nice house. My brother has a house that is paid for, no one can take it away from him. When my wife dies, everything will go to the girls. They've already planned on how to use it for the grandchildren. That's what matters to me. Sincerely. bruce.
