That's not just an idea - its physical reality. You can't get your physical needs met in old age if you didn't win the lotto. Suicide is the retirement plan for most of us non-boomers.

They're gonna be shocked when they see the generation without kids and with unstable retirement funds gets too old to care for themselves. Suicide rates are going to explode.

Also aside from retirement. I see....a lot of people with campers, "homeless" now. Parking their RVs on sides of roads, struggling cause they fell behind on everything HARD. The rates might go up earlier.
