Representative, probably. Large, no. But I have a large observational sample of old people in their 60s and 70s , and unemployed people younger than that, who just don't know what to do with all their spare time.

I doubt they take the question seriously due to considering the notion so unlikely to be pointless to consider.

Sure, I know the type. But these "younger" people, do they express a desire to die in the near future or they still want to wait for the magic number 80?
