Retirement savings, 401k, ROTH IRA, they all seem so pointless to me. By the time I would get to use them, I will most likely be dead, and if not, I'll be so close to death the only thing I can do with it is give it to my kids I most likely will never have.

I had a run of great luck and was able to put 18k into retirement over the past few years, but I just don't know why I am. 40 years from now will earth even be around? Would this money not be better used on finding a old house in a dead town and just settling down? Then atleast I'm not paying 1.5k a month to live in a single bed apartment.

Sorry for the doomer rant.
