    It all feels so bleak. If everything stays the same (this is unfortunately the optimistic outlook), then by the time I reach retirement age I’ll have to keep working full time anyway because they’ll raise the age for benefits and everything will be more expensive. I’ll work full time until I die. It makes saving for retirement feel so pointless, even without thinking about how climate change will probably alter the way the world works (for the worse) over the next 30 years.

      I haven’t seen the point in planning to retire my entire adult life. Either we build socialism or die horribly from climate change and police violence. I would like to be proven wrong, but its not looking like there are other realistic alternatives.

      Putting it all on the red bear seems like the best bet to me.
