6 years later after writing this post it is still mind blowing to me how stable US is/was. That you could plan something for the life.
Maybe it is changing now, but the positive thing is that we can build societies that are stable for few generations. I find this bit aspiring in general (but obviously doesn't help much when thinking about your own pension and financial security).
It's a reminder for myself mostly, because again I'm originally from Ukraine and Ukraine didn't have stable peaceful period that lasted even one generation (at least in the past 150 years).
