Um yes, OBVIOUSLY. When your entire career has been defined by three 'once-in-a-lifetime' financial crsises and you couldn't afford a home until maybe never and half the people you know are out of work and the other half never had retirement funds cos they were all contractors and...?

I basically figure there won't be retirement by the time I get there. The boomers I say this to kind of pat me patronizingly and say, 'don't worry, you'll get there,' as if it is just that I can't imagine I will ever get old, and then when I start to explain how and why I will actually honestly never get there but I hope they enjoy retirement because it still seems to be a working system for them, they sort of back away slowly and assume I'm depressed instead of a realist.
