To liquidate everything when I get to 60 and live in luxury hotels until the cash runs out

[Everythingisnumbersnow]

Just thinking who wants to be old anyway plus I really resent the idea of all my money going to dodgy offshore small business owners (aka care home owners).

We'll see how it goes but I'm pretty excited about this.

I pay thousands for private health and dental. Thousands more in tax. I don't really feel bad.

I’m confident you don’t.

Those things are to benefit you rather than other people.
If you have the sort of money you appear to be describing, you can pay for private care or choose an early way out as mentioned. You may find that you have a very unpleasant old age otherwise, especially as you have no children.

I think I explicitly said 15? I don't intend to exist beyond 75.

The tax I pay doesn't benefit me primarily.

Love this idea OP! Definitely do it 👏🏼

Living in a hotel is my dream. I think Nabokov lived his later years in a luxury hotel. It's amazing. 🤩

Are you expecting to die soon or something because 60 is really young? I get you about not wanting to go into a care home. It's something I dread. But I read some interesting statistics recently that said the number of people who end up in a care home are low percentage-wise for that demographic, and many only end up there for a short time. My neighbour died in her home a while back, and the next neighbour across also died in his home. Both my DH's parents died in their home, as did my Dad. There's probably some middle ground between liquidating your assets and disappearing off into the sunset and living some kind of alternative life?

I have a better idea for you, go to a care home in Thailand, they have amazing ones with facilities like 5 star hotels at a fraction of a price

Taxes are to benefit her? Bahaha
high earners prop half the society with their taxes

Yeah and it would be fine if there were collective care, a genuine social contract, but there simply isn't.

I've heard about these! You must be quite vulnerable being far from home unable to speak the language, though?

My friend, no kids, says she is going to do this!

Fully staffed, medical care in board, laundry,all meals, cleaning, gym and pools.

With some good holiday insurance she is planning to go round and round the world till she dies!

Care home fees are £6,000 per month locally, I can see her reasoning! 😆

and I have a lot of friends who never made it to 60. Why is OP ageist or unreasonable? It's her money, her life.

I quite like this idea. I honestly would like to give the kids some inheritance spend what’s left frivolously and then be able to sign up for a voluntary euthanasia scheme. I don’t want to be old and incontinent and in pain.

I don’t understand what people mean when they say this. What about the criminal justice system, the police? the roads, bridges, military forces? Underwater cabling bringing your internet? Trade agreements your tax pays the government to negotiate?

who thinks they don’t benefit from paying tax? That’s such basic bitch behaviour

I read about someone doing that on a cruise...it's crossed my mind as well

My friend has a lovely cheap air bnb apartment in Italy. Many of his clients are retired and travel from one cute little bnb rental to another.

That appeals to me.

How do you get a visa to live in Thailand though? It’s very hard for fit healthy young, wealthy working people to get residence in Thailand let alone someone going there to die

Maybe there's a business model opportunity here?

Thailand has a retirement visa, afaik.

@KaylaLS jie much is a cruise per month asking for a friend 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I suppose it depends on how much you'll have when you liquidate your assets. If it's a million it's not going to last very long and sixty is so young. If I were you I would wait until at least 70, but perhaps you are not in very good health (?)

This looks possible but not without significant risk. Also requires:
-annual renewal at an immigration centre (so being physically capable of appearing every year until the year you die)
demonstrating - an income or savings of min $20k (not a huge amount but might be difficult in the last few years)

-health insurance (could be hard and expensive to get this in the years before you die)

I think there are pretty strict rules for being buried at sea. I looked into it and could only find 2 places in the UK that would arrange it - and they wanted a fair whack as well.
