A while ago I asked whether you are a do the good thing first or save it for later sort of person, like eat the best part or whatever.

Now I’m curious if it was a zombie apocalypse, would that change your calculation?

So not in daily life, but if you found something good but you know you’ll likely die soon.

Do you consume it all now (not just food, but media or friendship), or do you dole it out to yourself to make it last?

Depends on my mood, but the important thing is that I am comfortable doing things in whatever order I feel like.

At a buffet I may eat desserts first, last or in the middle. If I have a limited amount of something I do consciously decide whether to eat them all at once or save some for later. Sometimes I make the wrong choice and that is ok.
