By the time i had the means to do either of these i no longer had the time. But thats just an excuse i could have done them, i was just dealing with some shit in my early 20's and it took a bit for me to man up and find myself. BYt that point i was married and had obligations that i couldnt just shirk without hurting people other than myself.
I tell my wife, there is a good chance that if she goes before me, ill immediately retire and just go off the grid for who knows how long. But we both know that wont happen, my dad died of cancer at 52, his mom at 62 after having it for a decade. His sister had a 5% chance with her melanoma diagnosis at 30 (but made it). The chances of me dieing first are, i would say, probable.
