You'd have to balance the benefit of being able to accomplish any number of goals before your expiration date with the decreased quality of life you'd experience fretting about it as the date grew closer. I'd rather not. I'd like to operate under the illusion that I'll always have one more day for as long as possible and just focus on not taking the days I do have for granted in the meantime. But if I somehow did know the date, I'd certainly not squander the benefits knowing would give me, and do my best to meet my end satisfied and cheerful.
