TheresJustNoMoney

If, after we cure all aging-related diseases and become clinically immortal, I continued to save $1000/month towards a mutual growth investment fund that compounds, indefinitely, from age 40, when will I hit $1m? $10m? $100m? $1b? $10b? $100b? $1t?

This will be a crosspost between:

How long will it take and how old will I be when I hit these milestones, and when we're no longer mortal thanks to those world-changing medical advances?

I'd hope that an immortal society would have the sense to be a post-scarcity society as well, otherwise it becomes a baked-in gerontocracy (even more so than now) and that seems pretty bad (even more so than now).

The price for aging therapies would be prohibitive at first but as always, it gets cheaper with time. The true problem of our days is debt based money creation.ñ

when we're no longer mortal

At that point, the prophecy foreshadowed by your username will have been fulfilled.

Yeah well... let's talk about inflation in this new "society".

At some point, there will be a post-scarcity society, so money will be irrelevant.

This post is depressing, to think with immortality being commonplace is still have to deal with money and investments.
