I wonder if a lot of econ melancholy stems from realizing (1) you can't retire for a long fucking time bc defined benefit pensions died in the 90s+00s and many jobs don't offer 401ks, and (2) it's dog-gobble-dog for you, peers, kids, one false step = savings syonara, so it's scary to take risk.
add a skeleton here at some point
