I am still planning on the prospect of working and saving/investing for retirement as if nothing will be different, but I know realistically within the decade many of us could very likely not have the ability to work and be compensated in the way we are currently, let alone 10-15 years from now. While something approximating UBI seems inevitable, I can't realistically see that as a guarantee, nor can I estimate the quality of life that would afford.
Have you guys changed or thought of changing your plans based on the developments of the last 12 months and glimpsing into the future?
I don't think this requires a serious tag, but I would appreciate trying to add some some value/insight.

I'm 44. This may be presumptuous but I've quit saving for retirement. I assumed even in the best scenario I had to work until 70 to retire anyway. If we're not immortal beings in a post scarcity society playing out all of our God fantasies in infinite worlds in FDVR by then well then I guess I fucked up and I'll pay the price.
