Death is 100.00% inevitable. So make a plan. Unlike trying to land a job or retire, it's not a waste of time to plan for.
If you're religious, you'll either go to hell or heaven. Or reincarnate. This depends on if you're a good person. So be a good person, every day, until you die.
It also grants some freedom. You die because you give your last bit of food to someone. Or you die because you got an allergic reaction to vaccines. Or you jump on a grenade. A noble death leads to a noble afterlife.
If you're not religious, then why worry? Supporting your family? Get life insurance. Write a will.
There's a theory that we will become dust and our consciousness becomes pure energy, one with the environment. That's pretty cool, isn't it?
Anything I left out? Identify it. Plan for it. If there's one thing you can control, this is it.
