I had a good friend, retired WO, that didn't take any SBP when he retired because he was going to live forever too.
I tried talking him into it but got "I ain't gonna give Uncle Sam that much money off of my retirement etc, etc..."
He died of a med condition on a rented Harley a few years after retiring and left his wife with nada but their savings.
Heads up youngsters when it gets to be that time....take care of the wife.
