I've already been thru this with the collapse of demand for the skilled end of my trade. Had I finished what I started earlier, I would need VERY little $$, and would not need to live in my truck now for 5 years, renting out my condo/sucking blood. In 6 or 7 years I'll take Social Security (at age 68 or 69) while continuing to work. I can't count on this either - when Great Depression 2.0 really bites, i.e. the $$$-printing stops "working".

"Reverting to savagery" is severely PRACTICAL, as well as providing a higher quality of life. I also may be living longer than I planned. A long-term effect of all the "heavy LSD use" in my 20's - I am reverse-aging: abnormally fast healing from shoulder surgery, abnormally strong immune system for my age, abnormally slow atrophy of my back for my age when not physically working.
