Thats kind of the thing. Call it dumb, but I have my parents talking about how I need to contribute to my pension and rrsps, etc,
and I'm literally watching them with savings that would have been okay a decade ago, but are now worth drastically less because a) no housing, and b) inflation killed the dollar,
that I'm just like, I do see the value in saving, but even if I save money, whats the guarantee that what I save will even be worth anything in 10, 20 years, etc.
Already with covid, and I'm lucky I put my savings in investments, Ive seen the price of rent, food, electricity, etc skyrocket.
I honestly don't expect to retire myself, at least not in this country 40 years from now.
