So dividends and rents do play a good part.Of course, this only highlights the importance of having some equity exposure, even for a retired person , especially after retirement, as the investment horizon can be 20+ years.

Guarantee for the exact expiry date.

For that, Buy a gun. When bored or when there is no more money, pull the trigger. No more worries.

“Excuse me, what is the procedure to buy a gun purely for self-use?”

Yes some of them have found a purpose, but they are the exception. So if you live to 114 (in one class in Mumbai, I found a guy whose great grand father had lived to 104+….:-) so get ready for a real long innings. YOU cannot lie down and say ‘I want to die’. It does not happen that way any more….
