Great points, but not the world we currently live in, nor on any track towards. I’ll just let my mom know she can stop working because society should be taking care of her and I’ll go ahead and liquidate my 401k and IRAs since they won’t be needed.
It’s great to work towards those goals of having better social programs, but you still have to exist in the world that you actually live in.
It’s easy to talk about the living in the world we live in when such a world is not an existential threat to you. There are many for whom this world has become an existential threat, and the numbers keep going up as we continue to live in this world that we live in, as you put it.
Who said that this world isn’t also an existential threat to me? I’ve never implied that things shouldn’t change, in fact I said that they should. My statement about having to live in the world we have is merely a statement of fact, but I was hoping to imply that for many this still means investing for your future. Just because it isn’t useful advice for some, doesn’t mean it isn’t still helpful for others.
