All you gotta do is have 1 kid. Then you just give your house to that kid using a family trust. Finally, if you get along with the kid, everything is cool but right about at 70 years of age you gotta croak.
If you don't get along or if you're already 70, here's the way out. First make sure your kid can keep collecting the checks. Next move to Latin America, don't worry, it's on paper only. Here's option 1; parachute without the little backpack they give you. That's an easy 200mph for 3 minutes. Choose a flat or rocky place, you don't wanna be there when it happens. Don't choose a fluffy canopy area, trust me, you don't wanna be there. Option 2 is enlisting in the ruzzian army, just go to Ukraine right after and take lots of snacks for the road. Option 3 involves chemistry so I'll be skipping it, you and I don't have the patience.
Anyway there's a movie with a 100 ways of doing it, and Switzerland has made it legal, so it's a plane ticket away, you just have to convince a psychologist that you really want economical freedom and that this is the only way. This and taxes.
