I see hints of this rationale all the time on wallstreetbets. It comes with a heavy dose of nihilism and maybe a bit of hedonism. Why invest and wait 30-40 yrs

I see hints of this rationale all the time on wallstreetbets. It comes with a heavy dose of nihilism and maybe a bit of hedonism. Why invest and wait 30-40 yrs for retirement if there's not going to be a world to retire into? Hence, they go all in on risky option plays.

The explanation is simpler than that, they like to gamble.

  Saving in a 401k, IRA, etc relies on government stability and willingness not to raid funds (see Poland) for many decades, which seems less likely with the possibility of crop failures.
