What if we knew when and how we'd die? (bbc.com)

Retirement financial planning would be easier. If I knew I would die at 80, I'd know how much money I needed to be able to retire. I'd know when to start taking Social Security. I'd know how much I could spend in a year after I retired.

I'd also be able to leave my affairs in a decent state for my survivors, instead of in a mess.
