i saw mine has increased 100% in the past 2 years and it grossed me out because i know this shit has consequences. but what else do i do? my work matches a small percentage, so turning down free money feels absurd, and maybe not being obtusely poor when i retire(lololol) would be nice.

To me, it doesn’t exist in reality. It’s some fake money promise that I will never see.

If it’s there in several decades when I’m too broken to work and lets me rent a little more time on this planet then so be it. I would give it up for a socialist state in a heartbeat.
