Curious about the source of those numbers.
Anyhow, I can really say that I have a problem with finance. It's often equating people to numbers, and it's hard to de-obfuscate what is really happening. I don't dislike money as a medium, but I don't like how it seems so opaque and complex, and how it becomes difficult to understand how food/housing/clothing/transport really works at a large scale for a normal citizen.
I'm 35, I love math, and last year I learned that a 5% mortgage of 150000 euros over about 15 years would cost around 85000 euros. It feels so crazy to learn something like that so late in life.
When climate problems kick in, that's where financial complexity seems impossible for me to understand.
