Won’t they be surprised that they won’t have any retirement.

Yep. And that whatever IS there will be under lock and key by whatever government until you submit to the Mark of the Beast in order to BUY and SELL.

Can't happen?

Look how quickly the Covid-19⁽⁸⁴⁾ lockdowns happened - WORLDWIDE - and they were shutting down churches, restaurants, businesses.....in VERY short order. Food was stripped from the shelves locally.

No beef, chicken, canned vegetables, canned soup, bread (except overpriced stuff, no milk, no eggs. For weeks and weeks. I used to take pictures of the shelves because it was so shocking to see. I had predicted that one disaster would clear the shelves in 24-72 hours at most. And it happened.

So what’s pushing young people to stash away MONEY they can’t touch for decades?

Gonna be surprised to learn that their saving "money" was at more basic level, really just saving debt. Dollars in a Roth/IRA/SEP is debt because what they refer to as 'money' is printed fiat, or in the case of these accounts, fiat in a ledger account.

To save real money means realizing PMs should be a bigger part of your savings. Every fiat or instrument of fiat are substitutes for PMs.

I don't mean to say that in today's world fiat in Roth/IRA/SEP doesn't have any place... just be aware that our debt-based currency has been inflated to near zero ($1 in 1913 is now 3 cents).

It’s funny. Young people doing the right thing by saving for retirement most likely because they know SS won’t be around for them. One might think on this forum they would be applauded for doing a very conservative thing but I guess not.

Or, that 200k doesn’t really get you much.. especially 40-50 years from now..when Hunter Biden Jr. Is selected for he/she’s insecond term as President.
