What I don’t understand about people like this is the wasting of all your younger years for some hypothetical future of leisure when you could die in your sleep today. Like, what’s the point?
It feels like a complicated exercise in some sort of meaning seeking in a hollow world, like some bastardization of seeking enlightenment or freedom from purely selfish and individualistic goals that don’t even benefit you.
And no better example of how the system we live in is not built for the proles, all this saving and then suddenly the value can just be gone. And still they keep going.
Is this economic frugality as a religion or something, not sure. But it sure is weird.

It’s just a matter of having accepted and internalised what the point is of you being born and alive is as told by the ruling class. You are supposed to work your bones off, generating surplus value for your masters, and be miserable in the off time, unable to imagine a better world.

And even if you don’t die, why would you trade young healthy years for when you’re older, have less energy, and possibly less mobile?
