Wasn't this the boomer retirement plan? Societal collapse takes a lot longer than one would think.

It's a legitimate conundrum, do I invest for comfortable retirement or comfortable middle age
The best approach is probly both - enjoy some now but still put something away, just don't go all-in on either extreme.
If you have a solid retirement plan and you are in a position where you can still save extra money, go for multiple retirements (sabbatical).
Once we switch over to bottle caps as currency, I'll be both instantly rich and utterly distraught at the potential wealth I squandered over the years.
In all honesty, my retirement plan is to go out with a bang in an act of left-wing extremist terror. We have seen way too little left-wing extremist terror in the past few years.
Money is already meaningless. Worthless is the correct word.
I had a free ticket out of here and I fucked it up by getting an organ transplant FML
I’ve already staked out the place im gonna turn into a post apocalyptic fort. I know where the tastiest rich people live nearby.
Man, a lot of you are going to be absolutely fucked if we somehow don't have societal collapse.
No wonder so many people keep pushing accelerationist rhetoric.
The average lifespan in the US has fallen 3 years in a row and is the same as the part of the UK with the worst average lifespan. With the destruction of the CDC and the removal of food safety inspections they keep attempting, I don't think many of us will have to worry about it.
Besides, Berretas are cheap.
Sure, you can try one on yourself first
That was the implication. Somebody's getting a blow job on my 65th birthday, and it sure as hell isn't gonna be me.
