So been doing a lot of deeper thinking lately, and curious to get some opinions from the guys here.

If you knew you had a set time left (for discussions sake lets say 60 days) on this beautiful planet, how would you spend those days.
- Would you tell your family friends and let them worry about your coming passing, or would you live normally so as to not upset anyone else.
- Any old friends or family you have lost touch with, would you reach out or let them be.
- Would you splurge and spend and bills be damned when you are gone, or miser what you have for those left behind.

Everyone says they'd booze it up, chase tail, quit their job and live the high life, but in a serious note, how would you react. How would YOU live like you were dieing?

If i wasn't married I would go get three gold credit cards and TO HELL WITH PAYING THOSE CROOKED BASTURDS OFF...:bounce2:
but sence I am... I would want to spend as much time as possiable with the woman that I love and my family. because time is all we have....

:beer: don't forget that life is like a party, and partys aren't ment to last...:beer:

I hope I didn't get too deep
 
I'd keep going on as normal. However, I'd def. let my significant other know to help prepare her and to work towards making the proper financial and emotional arrangements
 
I'd make the best of them 60 days with my wife and kids. They know that I would be in a better place and that they wouldn't need to worry about me. I would make sure arrangement s where made to help take care of them when I'm gone.
 
i would wheel everywhere i've always wanted to go such as moab, rubicon and just do stuff i've always wanted to do...

I would let those who have strayed from me be, just because i feel it would be mean to contact them just to be like "hey im dying in x days". i feel like when i talk to people i havent seen recently its like a renewing the relationship, and it wouldn't be nice to renew the relationship just to end it soon after.

and i would spend whatever money i have on the mentioned, booze & ponanny. any money left over that would be left to my family
 
I would enjoy the time I have left with my wife and daughter, but it would hurt really bad for me because my wife is eight weeks pregnant....see as many bands as I could, also prepare for the worse

Amen! Deep subject .most folks dont talk about,yet they should! I've raised two kids,been faithfully married for 24 years and having a blast!When its my time,so be it.I'll shut up now.
 
I would make the best of the 60 days by spending it with the woman I love and doing all the things I wanted to do before I died.
 
Welp, when you live paycheck to paycheck, nothing would change... I would not tell anyone but would make all preperations to make it as painless as possible for my family. Designate wills and properties with notorizings and appointed power of attorneys and such. Get everything straight as possible for a walk in the park for everyone to finalize all my belongings. Mainly shit that needs to be done now regardless of only having 60 days left.
 
The first thing I would do is call my boss and tell him I quit. I would then tell all the people close to me in my life about my situation. I would spend the 60 days enjoying myself doing all the things I love to do.
 
Tell the wife, but not sure when. Tell the owners of my company so they can plan for a replacement. I would book a 2 week cruise with the wife and kids to spend some absolutley quality time with them and create lasting memories. Make sure all insurance policies were up the date and accounted for. Arrange to sell all my junk-jeeps,parts,tools,ect. so she would not have to. Make sure all the arrangements were taken care of as far as funeral and such as well as what to do with my ashes(which after the fact don't really care). Would fly up to see my parents for a few days and probably tell them. With such a short time frame, that would probably be it and a mad dash. I would still work as much as time would allow as I am sure my company would work with me and my schedule til the end. If any time left, I would skydive and head for the rubicon. Really the only two things on my list I have not accomplished yet.
OK I am done thinking about this.
 
What I find really interesting is, most you seem to be assuming that you'd be perfectly healthy and able to be up and running around, then on day 61 BAM you drop dead.
Rarely works that way, when you get a sentence like that, it comes b/c you're already terminally ill, you can count on you health only going downhill from Day 1.

And good luck getting a life insurrance policy at that point, first thing they do is pull your med records, if they find out you knew you had terminal illness, no $$ for you.

ok then we'll play your game...I'd go ahead and try all the good drugs I was always afraid to try for fear of addiction (60 days who cares). Talk my wife into a threesome or maybe a 4some for a day or two with some hotties.(if I was unable to participate, just prop me up in the corner, I'll watch). Spend my last days wth her and my dogs. I would make a pioint to not open the mailbox for those 60 days. My wife would be well taken care of for assets and life insurance...so a few late bills wouldn't screw her up. Make sure I told the people who really mattered to me, that they did.Travel till I was unable to...
 
I'd surf NC4x4, email, and Crazedlist all day long. Except I would do it from home instead of work.
 
I'd do nothing...

First, pay off the Doc to destroy all records of my illness(Tanks Dave) Get him to write a prescription for pain stuff to last, better yet, have him give me samples. No trace.
GO see an attorney to make sure everything goes where I would want it to. No squabbles.
Sell the RV, Buy a nicer one, and hit the road with Mrs Price. Visit all the places I remember her saying that she wanted to go. Visit all the places I want to go.
Spend an hour or two each day writing some notes to the G baby's. so when they are old enough, they could know G paw. Everyone else already does.
Visit the funeral home, and finalize all the plans. It's to be a celebration, not a wake.
Spend some time with those that I like to be around, others, who cares.
 
seriously thought (had to put some thought to it)

I'd take my Wife and Kids to Europe (they've never been) to show them where I grew up. Maybe they could catch a glimpse of a life I had before them that they never knew.
 
I have strived/almost died to live like the end was near for 35 years now :flipoff2: I would hate to think what I would do if I got serious about my final 60 days of destructive behavior
 
First I would make sure everything was taken care of so my wife could take care of our son.
Life insurance would pay everything off and put my son through college.

Sell all my cars except for the J10 and take the money and pay a shop to restore the j10 for my son to have when I am gone.

Rent a RV and just drive.:driver:

..............

if I was single no kids.
i would party it up till I can't. then go say goodbye to my friends/ family.
try to make it to a special place I know of in the mountains in California, Sit down for a while ........ then put a bullet in my head.

:sniper:
