I would just keep working, because my work has a free life insurance policy where if I die of natural causes I get a certain factor of my salary paid out in life insurance to the beneficiary of my choice. So if I quit, that would be gone. If I keep working, then my girl gets about $750k paid out to her upon my death on top of a supplemental life insurance policy I pay for. So with that she could pay off the house (if she still wanted to live here, I have a feeling she would move because she'd be heartbroken living here alone), she could basically semi-retire and just work here and there for the rest of her life and she'd be totally fine, (that is assuming we don't go into hyperinflation and investments don't tank permanently).
Perhaps I'd look into going on short term disability and just take the 70% salary pay and not have to work...but honestly I think working would be nice sometimes to take my mind off of things.
However, that might not be necessary as my work has a flex time off policy so I have no limit on vacation/sick time, so I would likely just keep working, but take a fuck load of time off to go hiking and spend time with my family. Maybe work like two or 3 days a week average, take 2 weeks out of every month off or something. Anyway, I would have lots of sex with my girl, definitely wouldn't be looking at hookers or any bullshit as some have mentioned (idk if they're single or not, if you're single I get it). Personally, in all honesty, she the only woman I want to be with. We have a special connection and I want to experience that as much as possible before I die. That may sound weird to many guys here. I will say that there is one thing I wouldn't turn down...and that is if we could clone her and then I could have a threesome with her and her clone twin LOL.
We would do some local travelling, just some road trips to places we want to go within a few hours of home. I am not trying to fly anywhere or "see the world" before I die. I moved out to my homestead in the mountains for a reason: because I absolutely LOVE being here every single day I wake up and walk outside I literally say aloud (something along the lines of), "I am so thankful to live in such a beautiful place."
Also I would be doing mushrooms probably once per week to make peace with my coming death. I'd eat anywhere from 1 to 6 grams depending on the day and activities, maybe we'd be hiking in the forest or on a mountain, or maybe we'd just be at home and I could close my eyes and just meditate and snuggle with my dog.
Lastly, I would arrange things so that my body can be buried on my land, with trees and flowers planted over top of it. Worst case I would Fuck cremation and fuck a cemetery. They both disgust me and just highlight humanity's separation from nature. People have their bodies pumped full of fucking formaldehyde, put themselves in a fucking $10,000 coffin dressed in expensive jewelry and a fancy getup, all because they are afraid of what...? Bugs eating their dead-ass body?!?! THAT IS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.
I, for one, want my body to reintegrate with the earth. I absolutely do not want to be separated from nature upon my death, just as I have lived as close to nature as possible during my life. To me, separating your body from nature is a great way to ensure that your soul is incapable of rejoining wherever it is we came from. We are connected to this planet. I'm not saying a wooden coffin would be a prison that the soul couldn't escape...but why not let your body feed a growing tree? You, in essence, BECOME this giant, beautiful tree. Or these beautiful flowers and fungi in a prairie. What better death could one ask for?
