This has honestly bothered me for a while now. I am 26 years old (in the US) with a decent-ish government job and I am slamming money away into a 457(b) program and all that, but I can't help but feel that it might end up being pointless. I hope to retire around 55y/o, but I could envision the market getting wrecked by that time due to climate disasters.
I know the market historically averages ~7% per year, but the odds of ideal market conditions continuing to 2050 just seem so low. Does anyone else feel pessimistic about the financial market leading into the future? It just keeps getting harder and harder for me to justify investing rather than leading a better life now while the opportunity is still there...
