I'd say this is a very poor approach to deciding something because (in my somewhat uninformed opinion) it's very unlikely you'll have the same view of the world and what's important to you on your deathbed, though that obviously depends on what happens between now and then.

Yep, I had a lot of 'I would never' kind of deathbed decisions which i would be happy with 10-20-30 years later.

I rather look at current longterm goals: these might(do) change over time but that is the closest to deathbed goals as I can get.
