There has to be some kind of nugget of truth in this story:

'Dying' couple blow £40k

Both spouses were diagnosed with "terminal" diseases. So, they decided to make a list of 50 things they really wanted to do before they died. According to the article: "Over 18 months they renewed their wedding vows on the QE2, partied in Rio, had a safari in South Africa and visited the Falklands, Senegal and Uruguay."

From the article:

But now Megan has been told her cancer is in remission, while Patrick, 66, is back at the gym after a successful heart bypass op.

And the couple, of Cheltenham, Gloucs, believe their “final fling” helped save their lives.

Perhaps the saying, "Live life as though you will die tommorrow" has some validity. Of course, if we all received a $25,000 per year stipend, it would be a lot easier fo us all to do this...
