It would be a lot more helpful if one knew when they'd reach last day.
It's easier to plan for a specific date than some vague date that could
vary a lot. Then you would know if you were running low, or if you were
ahead, and adjust accordingly.
 
The real trick is then to terminate with no money in the bank account,
unless one is planning to leave some to someone.
 
The disadvantage is that you know when you'll die, and that might not be a
good thing. If you go early, that's a sad thing to look forward to. If
you die late, maybe that's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing, depending
on how one looks at it.
