I know folks who save and invest 20-80% of their income. They are not LARPing, and many of them have investments with growth exceeding their job income after 10 years of this kind of saving. It's hardly a LARP to save and invest. Maybe if you're investing in something actually worthless or a ponzi scheme, but last I checked land is still an investment vehicle and they aren't making more of it. One can put solar on it, or a business, or lease it out to someone else.
