The Death of “Retirement”
It would please me greatly to see the current experiment with retirement come to an end. I do not believe we can look back and say that it has been good for people to have adopted an entitled view of retirement.
Unfortunately, we do not have a viable replacement because our social and economic systems aren’t there. Furthermore, we know that conventional financial advice will not get us off the road to becoming The Future Poor.
What is the point of financial strategies that few can do or simply do not work?
Death will come for this version of retirement one way or another. My hope is that it is because we have changed course and altered our projected destination. That vision of the future is hopeful and brings me great joy for it will be a sign of human flourishing in new and dynamic ways.
If it is not us that puts it to death, it will be the extreme failure and economic troubles that awaits us in a few decades that will cause us to wake up and realize we had a problem all along.
