I would gladly take a one way trip to one of these planets. provided I have a way of reaching there and spending at least 1 day alive there. 100 light years is no joke - but if the math on this is correct https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/612645/does-spec...

I can leave say when i'm 60 and hopefully reach star at age 70. Trade-off I'm willing to do

Yes with a 1g rocket you can travel millions of light years in less than 80 years, when you come back earth is millions year older. In the future people will only live a billion years from now.
