Genuine question - what is your retirement plan? I have seriously looked and didn't find one yet which doesn't need population growth and/or productivity growth

  One way or another there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_ratio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_ratio and it affects all the ways you might retire, no matter if it is "my children will take care of me", "my government will take care of me", "my mutual funds will take care of me". The situation gets more favorable with more population/economic growth, is difficult in the steady state, and is atrocious in a state of decline.

  My personal plan, or one for everyone? I don’t have a pension. I do have a 401k/ira, and would prefer my social security taxes were in there as well. Lower population would help the housing crisis, which is a huge tax on everyone. Own a home and a garden.
