so we have money to retire 'comfortably'. Then I slap myself, remind myself that's just the brainwashing at work.

I think it's tied with all this fear-mongering about old age, and sure, bad things can happen to you and you just don't know. But then again, there's so many things (like how you eat, sleep, move and live your life more broadly) that affect what kind of old person you become (if you become one). Somehow, it's just money we consider. As if that's the magic solution to not having a miserable old age.

Hanging on in one place for ages because I felt like it.

<3 yes please.

As for the cruise, I guess it depends on a lot of things. Like how mobile are you still? How fit? And is there cruises available still in the future you inhabit? So many ifs to discover in the end you hate fucking cruises. Who knows.

It's bloody hard work seeing everything as a social construction.
