Reply to comment by Ratheka_Stormbjorne in Serious question: Why does so many want to fix aging? Without radically changing the economy, this basically makes you into a slave that can never retire or die from age. by [deleted]

You know those investments don’t last forever right? Sure you can retire and hope you don’t use all your money by the time you die. But if you’re immortal your money won’t last forever

The point of investing properly is that it generates income. You aren't just chipping away at your principal, you live on the interest / dividends. So, barring societal collapse, actually it can last indefinitely, or even grow if you've done your job well.
