@futurebird I've been putting money in a 401k with effectively zero trust that the market or capitalism itself will hold together well enough to ever see that money in the future. But I don't see the money in the first place so if it ever amounts to something that will be a nice little surprise for future me.
I guess it's like buying lottery tickets. I'm taking a long shot on society remaining solvent and even if I don't expect it to happen it's nice to dream
