I hate that it's happening but I also think it's right. That being said I'd rather live the live of someone who dies at 50 and a multi-millionaire, than the likely 70+ years I'll live and never break 150,000/year.

And why is that?

NOt sure I would. I am 52 now and quite content not living the life of a millionaire. I would like to live into my 70's and enjoy retirement, grandkids and giving back to society.

Dementia is a bitch. I don't know if you know someone who has/had it but its an absolutely terrible way to live. Imagine sitting around all day and not really being sure if what you are experiencing is reality. It's terrifying to me.
To each his own, but I'm taking the extra 20 years of comfortable middle class life all day long over being loaded, relatively young with a partially impaired brain.
This, IMO is what's going to kill the game. Not the rule changes that are certainly coming, but when parents stop signing their kids up to play.

however, when you are 49 you will regret it and it will be too late; the devil would already own your soul (figuratively of course). wouldn't it be hell to like strike it rich at age 45 or something and still have to die at 50? live your life man; you might make way over 150k if it's that important ot you and you apply yourself.
