My wife and I are operating under the assumption we will live to 100. We probably won't, but we are going to prepare as if we will. Our goals are to live a comfortable, fulfilling life the whole way, including now. Anything unused at the end will go to the kids or grandkids, which is fine with us.

That's a very good mindset. I'm still a ways off from having all those kids/grandkids, so maybe my perspective will change when that happens.

I have kids, but I'm far off from having grandkids. But I know how life works, and if I make it to old age, I assume I'll have grandkids. Humans are, mostly, following the same playbook, so it makes sense to me to project my life out a ways and plan ahead.
