So, we have seen immense growth and wealth over the past decades and certainly since WW2. Shouldn't we by now be able to afford comfortable retirements with the living standards of the 80ies including affordable housing? But yet we are constantly reminded to work longer hours, be more productive and preferable die soon as we stop being productive (like in the US and UK). When will this race ever stop? How productive can anyone become anyway? And where is all that growth because everything is getting more and more expensive and wages are surely falling behind? Things aren't adding up really.
