The “Until I die” option strikes me as fanatical. Does anyone else think that it would be a good idea to rephrase this option differently, e.g. “As long as I can”?
Ha, I see what you mean. The thing is that several people’s plans do take this form, but the wording does sound slightly odd (perhaps because of the reference to death, or because doing things ‘to the death’ has associations with extremity or radicalism?). I’m open to another phrasing, but “as long as I can” means something different. It’s actually weaker than “until I retire”.
That said, “as long as I can” may be a good separate option to provide. Do others think so/would others declare plans phrased in those terms? If so I’ll add it as a preset option. (Note that you can already specify your own until-condition via the free text “other” option.)

For my lifetime captures the meaning of until I die without the fanaticism
Good suggestion Ryan, I’ve scheduled myself to switch the option to ‘Throughout my life’ - having this sort of brainstorming on the forum is helpful.
