Woke: investing in friends, community and mutual aid networks.
We'll probably become a big brother 1984 type fascist society at some point where I'll be sent to reeducation prison and they'll make me forget what retirement is and convince me to volunteer to a corporate labor camp until I die.
Fortunately, they can't find enough energy and materials and food to operate such systems.
However, a low-tech fascist system, such as a medieval theocracy, is doable.
I think the most viable thing to do would be to put your money towards building a geothermally powered unground habitat that is close to a large water source, and have a really good water purification system to filter it.
Also possibly use fibre optic cable to funnel sunlight in to grow plants which hopefully produce food and oxygen. Although safer bet would be to have enough power for internal ultra violet lighting and be able to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen, who knows if we'll somehow managed to block out the sun as well.
I've been thinking about this for a while, if anybody can lend me some large scale industrial excavation equipment, I'd really appreciate it c:
NGL Id rather die than be a mole person.
Hmmm fair, I like existing, but a quick death might preferable right enough :(
I'm stockpiling bottle caps now so I can live like a king after the fall of society.
65? Must be fucking nice!
My plan is working til I fall over or reach 75, which is the new 65 according to some of our politicians, and then off myself, cause I never got the chance to save something for retirement due to circumstances.
the only really sensible retirement plan is building a community that supports each other, become the neighbourhood grandma who everyone loves because she bakes pies.
you can have as much money as you want, if no one else cares about you you'll still be miserable and probably die in your home.
After an oil crisis, cold war with nuclear threats, financial meltdown and assorted wars and famines I'm convinced things keep on going and on average do a slow deterioration with the occasionally bump and panic.
