Or 10 years with balancing 50/50 time for work and family.
And you find out that you have only 5 years left to live. That would mean you would need to work non stop (almost no family time) in order to set them up. Would you do so?
Alternatively (if you did not knew that) you would continue working the 50/50 route and you'd die before setting it up, but you would have quality 5 years with your family instead. And it is not that they would be broke (you would still leave a decent capital to them).

I have similar mixed feelings. I think I would like to know though so I can plan accordingly. If I find out I'm going to live to be 95 I might want to work/save differently so I have retirement enough to last me that long. At the same time if I find out I'm going to die in a year I would spend as much possible time with friends and family and doing things I wanted to do.
