I guess my point is that your hypotheticals are very leading and lack important context like probability. People generally don't plan to die at 57 because most people don't die at 57 (or 40). Planning your life like that isn't really sensible.
The hypotheticals are the point. When you're thinking about how to live your life, to windsurf or to build your savings for example, you're considering hypotheticals because you have to make a choice about which one to do. All the others are hypotheticals because you end up not doing them. Planning is all about hypotheticals.
