That would be actually one of the upsides of it.

You could anonymously hire an assassin to kill you in exactly six months. Then you could finally live free! (Not a serious advice.)

Also, you might enjoy reading this book. (Somewhat related, also this one.)

Also, you might enjoy reading [Veronica Decides to Die].

You might also experience intense annoyance, though, as I did.
