The other option
"... I had the choice of a smaller lump sum and a larger pension, or a larger lump sum and a smaller pension. I decided to go for the larger lump sum because I thought, you know, if something happens to me, they'll end up saving some money on the pension."
I consider my mother's dilemma.
"Yes, and if you do end up living too long and not having enough pension, you still have the option of killing yourself, so it's a win-win situation."
She didn't laugh, but she definitely sniggered.
