Even weirder than a gen Zer has a financial planner.

Gen Z? By 2040 I doubt there'll be anything to retire to. Max 2050.

Good news is that in year 2032, President GPT-Trump-Jesus™ will issue an executive edict that all will be allowed to pull out their retirement funds tax free early to encourage crypto and prediction market investments.

Why allow humans to invest? Retirement funds will be managed by AI agents, like it or not.

To be serious a minute, I was certain I would be dead long ago. Save for retirement. If the cyborg revolution starts before retirement, then you might be able to get some cool upgrades. If you are "up against the wall", you won't have more than a few minutes to regret saving for retirement before you die. Regret Minimization!
