- maerF0x0 5y agoYeah, or at least "Longish term and guaranteed" . ie, Starting today you will get this payment, or more, for at the next 5 years. We cannot guarantee beyond that date, but we'll keep you informed of changes that may come after 2026.
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoSome won't. But "no one"? I strongly disagree. I can stop worrying about this month, and start worrying about the month five years from now. And in that five years, I can do a lot to position myself so that month will be OK, and the months after it will also be OK.
- nickff 5y agoFive years should be long enough to see people make changes, for good or for bad, though we won't see all the costs/benefits in the intervening time. Five years gives them enough time to make substantial time/education/skill investments in themselves by going to college/trade school, having a child, or learning a new skill. Five years also gives people enough time to develop negative habits/lifestyles such as drug or video game addictions. What change do you think would take more than five years to see?
