I don't plan on living past say, 50.

Irreunregardlesslessly, I'm hopefully going for a career in media where I should make a reasonable amount, also to be supplemented by the whole stand-up thing (which will also help springboard me to a decentish writing job. I also plan on marrying someone who's relatively good at organising future plans like pensions etc. because I, for one, completely suck at anything that isn't to do with the "here and now".
