if i was to invest in a pension fund today i’d be expecting economic growth to increase the size of the fund over the next 30 years before i retire. unfortunately for anyone foolish enough to be investing in such a fund just now, this won’t happen:

better to get busy building local resilience and encouraging children to stick around to look after us - just as most people in non-industrialised cash poor countries currently do.
