OK, I get a kick out of reading some of the threads in this forum. Some make me think. Some make me laugh a little. But when I read about the thought going in to preparedness for disaster (more on other forums than here) I have to wonder how much energy gets put into preparing for the collapse of society vs preparing for the most likely outcome: You work a long hard life, get to the age of 65-75 and retire quietly to Main St, America.
Do you invest (money and time) in your 401k/IRA and your bug out bag in proportion to their likelihood of being used?
I don't mean to suggest that being prepared is unreasonable or a waste of time or only for the tin hat crowd. I'm just wondering how many people serious about preparing for the worst are preparing for the most likely outcomes?
Do you agree with me that retirement is far more likely than societal collapse?
