Grampa, congrats on taking advantage of the United Mobile replacement program. Your balance will expire 10 months from the last recharge, but it will keep rolling over as long as you add the minimum amount at least once every 10 months. There's no need to add a lot of airtime in advance, you can just set up auto-recharge.
If your balance does expire, you can always add funds later when you are ready to travel. The phone number and SIM itself will never expire as long as you make or receive at least one call every two years. If you don't plan on traveling for the next 2 years, just call yourself once before it expires to get a new 2 year window.
