I often meditate on this - can even the concept of index fund retirement survive an actual depopulation scenario?
Of course, older forms of retirement can still work (have ten kids each of who have ten kids and you command an army in retirement; perhaps they’ll even call you King) - but aside from that where does the growth come from when not from population or immigration?
