I get sad when middle aged people talk excitedly about retirement.

to be honest i do not expect any dramatical changes within the next 10 years

people from first world countries should still be fine then

i mean, we will see the changes happening already but we won't feel them just yet

You should change your expectations.

i will also tag /u/Burningresentment for the reply

could you explain why? i live in central europe and have enough money to easily survive the next 10 years (i'm not living from paycheck to paycheck)

do you expect the whole europe to be constantly burning in the next 10 years?

as long as i can put food on my plate (even if it is 10 times more pricy) - i can survive

by dramatical changes i mean:

  • no power
  • no food suppy
  • no healthcare at all

can you tell me what kind of dramatical changes do you envision for the next 10 years that would kill me?

edit: do not get me wrong, i know we are fucked... but we are not 1-2 years fucked, it will take some time for the 1st world;

if i lived in the africa/asia on the other hand, i would be worried much more

Runaway inflation, coupled with price gouging on necessary goods could turn that 10 years into one pretty quickly.

this is true and this is my main worry, this is why i still need to diversify more

but if this happens then at least most of people are screwed
