Though maybe “quitting their job and not getting a pension” is meant as a metaphor for “take very big life risks,”
That’s fair pushback—a lot of that really doesn’t seem that risky if you’re young and have a very employable skillset. I endorse this rephrasing of my view, thanks
I guess you’re still exposed to SOME increased risk, eg that the tech industry in general becomes much smaller/harder to get into/less well paying, but you’re still exposed to risks like “the US pension system collapses” anyway, so this seems reasonable to mostly ignore. (Unless there’s a good way of buying insurance against this?)
