10. A lot of things will change

Nothing lasts forever. Our modern, society-wide concept of retirement was created in a certain period of time. Variables and conditions change though. What it will become, who knows for sure, but yeah, the great depression retirement model isn't always going to exist.

Whatever we come up with, as usual, will be created in the moment, work for a while, have it's pluses and minuses, and then it won't work again after some period of time.
