So, it's the end of the year and I'm faced with all sorts of wonderful paperwork and decisions. Open enrollment for insurance forces me to pick a plan, life insurance benefits and beneficiary(ies), W2 deductions/exemptions, etc... Such a pain in the ass... Looking through all of this has forced me to think about some cryptic shit though, like if I died, Who is going to make sure I get burried in the right place, who is gonna hide/take my porn collection so my parents don't get embarassed, who'll take the rest of my DVD's, who's gonna clean up my computer of anything embarassing, make sure everyone I'd want to know, knows? Why do I ever think about this stuff? Does anyone want that responsibility? Do I really care about any of this if I'm dead?
This is pretty lame I know, especially at our ages, but if not now, when is the right time to think and talk about this stuff? I'm not getting any younger... So, should I be thinking about a "living will" or setting up a trust? I feel really weird writing this stuff right now, but I can't help but think about it. It's not that I think I won't be here tomorrow or anything, but knowing that we have no control over when our time is up, I can't think that I have not prepared for death and know it would be a huge burden on so many of my friends and family. And, parents don't need to find porn DVD's, right? What if they ahd the same one's? GROSS!!!! (That's my feeble attempt to be funny in this very dark discussion)
So, from the peanut gallery, thoughts? What have any of you done if anything, or are you in the same boat I'm in and done nothing? I'm interested in hearing if anyone else has even contemplated this, I know we're all pretty young still but seriously, are any of us going to live forever?
