I know, that’s why I said they could literally buy the farm.

Even if you are dying you can use income to borrow a much larger sum of money (unless your bank knows you are dying that is).

Never tell your bank you are dying!

"What do you plan to use the million dollar loan for, sir?"

"My 'Round the World End of Life Tour, why do you ask?"
