Regarding Jackson’s comment, I agree that ‘dumping’ money last-minute is a bit silly. Spending at a higher rate (and saving less) doesn’t seem so crazy—which is what it seems you were considering.
Why do you believe that capital won’t be useful?
My guess the modal outcome from AGI (and eventual ASI) is human disempowerment/extinction. Less confidently, I also suspect that most worlds where things go ‘well’ look weird and not not much like business-as-normal. For example, if we eventually have a sovereign ASI implement some form of coherent extrapolated volition I’m pretty unsure how (we would want) this to interact with individuals’ capital. [Point 2. of this recent shortform feel adjacent—discussing CEV based on population rather than wealth].
