I find myself wondering this often. When I was a kid growing up, in the state I'm in you'd run into gun nut doomsday preppers who would joke about ammo being the next currency.

We worried about ridiculous nonsense like Y2K. The world seems like it's in so much worse shape today with the polar ice caps melting, global pandemics, economic straits, and bipartisan nature of everything pitting everyone against each other.

It's just become more and more difficult to be optimistic, and I'm someone that has a good job and owns his own home.

Even if everything works out, we're in danger of the sun melting us possibly within my life time.

The only solace I take is that my dog has about a solid decade left, and I think we'll be OK in that time. I'm hoping things hold together through my parents life time.

But my OWN??? My grandparents were OLD. One of them is still alive, almost 100. I will probably live for another 50 years at least. It seems naive to expect the glue to hold everything together that long.
