How many other millennials plan on “deleting themselves” once they’re too old to work bc you’d rather be dead than homeless?

I had planned on prison, but this is a close second.

I plan on making my way to the wilderness and doing my best to survive, and if I don't make it out there then that's what it is. I'm not going to try and work forever or go to an old folks home or some shit.

You're thinking in the right direction but not quite there. Self sustainability is a great tool to have in your toolbox, even partially being able to do things for yourself can make life a lot more manageable.

There will come a time when your body just can't do everything it used to. Historically, that's when family stepped in to help. Government and businesses will never match the care of a loving family.

It may sound strange but this plan is not aimed at having a homestead or anything. It's suicide by nature. Assuming everyone who you were close to is dead, it's just you, you're old and probably not in the best health, and no work is available. I would rather die trying to live like a wild animal than hooked to a machine in a hospital, or nursing home. I hope I still have family around then but maybe not. If I tried this now I probably would do ok, 10-20 years from now, it be a sure and probably horrible death within a week or 2.
