Should a 32-year-old with brain cancer save for retirement? | The Liz ...

Giants vs. A's

I'd rather be spending my money to see the San Francisco Giants with my best friend and Uncle Bob.

Help me decide:

Should one save for retirement when they have an incurable form of cancer with a high mortality rate?

There are a few different ways to look at this situation.

I could think on the bright side: I may live until I am 85 years old. I should be saving my money in a 401(k), IRA or other retirement account to have something to lean back on after my working days are over. And even if I do die before I can cash-out, the money will go to Brett.

Or, I could ?Live for today!? There are no sure things in this life?including life?so why stash money away when I can save it up and go on a fantastic vacation with my husband every year? And Disneyland every eight months or so? And also go to baseball games? Ultimately, I want experiences and memories with the person I love the most.

There is no right answer.

What are you going to do?
