dont forget getting to gamble with other peoples forced retirement accounts! yay!
Haven't most places moved to 401ks for this reason? I'd never participate in a pension and I imagine the vast majority of those working in the tech industry are smart enough not to as well
I could be wrong I'm basing all this on assumptions about others intelligence
wouldnt it be cool if retirement didnt rely on the market, at all? in any capacity. like, if we werent forced to go with a 'lower risk' tier of the house of cards.
The value of money is based on the market, all aspects of finance are based on economies. Even just a straight up savings account gradually devalues
We fucked up a species when we traded communities for economies.
