How short would your life have to be before you would start living differently today?

Not sure what you're asking here... like, "you have a month to live, what're you changing" or more like a Babylon5 scenario when you know you have 20 years left regardless of anything else so what do you do with them...

I never know how to answer these questions, since in my current situation all the things I'd like to do I can't do anyway because I'm waiting on this spinal surgery bullshit and we're completely fucking broke as a result. There's not a lot I COULD do differently.

Have at it.
