I’m an aerospace engineer and I’ll never retire after spending all this this money on being laid off. 20 years in and I’m losing my job again, and also worth more dead than alive because of life insurance. So do I kill myself in the next few months to take care of my family, or become a burden in a bad situation?
I don’t know how serious you are, but no. Giving your family the rest of their lives to live with the trauma of a parent’s/SO’s suicide, there’s more than finances at play. My MIL’s father did that about 65 years ago, and I can see echoes of that in her personality today.

Hopefully you’re joking, but in case anyone is unaware, life insurance doesn’t pay out for suicide.
