If it means anything, that stuff looked daunting for me in my twenties too. But then a bubble burst and opportunity suddenly presented itself again. At that moment, I was actually luckier than many folk who had been a bit ahead of me, as they faced tremendous asset losses and I was just sitting on modest savings that had gone from "I'm fucked; this'll never grow fast enough" to "oh shit, I just bought a house!" overnight. For better or worse, it's really very hard to look too far into the future and know how things will work out for ourselves. Markets and societies aren't as stable or predictable as they're made out to be.
