Abstract

When my kids were young and had already fallen into the expensive habit of eating every day, I came to a sad realization: If people waited until they could afford to have children, the human race would die out. Now that my kids are grown and have kids of their own, which means I don't have to feed them anymore, I have come to another sad realization: If people waited until they could afford to retire, most of them would die at their desks. This, I fear, is the fate that awaits me.
