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.
It has to be more than that though.
The benefit comes not in the convictions we hold, but the roles we play in society. Everyone’s looking out for their own material security; we need to be doing more than just that with our lives.
Also, you can achieve material security in the United States for as little as $10k of expenditures per person per year, with the right framework. If you get a bunch of people together, you can do it for much less.
