This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

The thing is, yes it may happen.

But neither you or I know when or how things will begin to south. All we can really do is live our lives and love our loved ones.

We're all gonna die eventually. Hopefully in many years due to old age. I currently don't make enough to start doomsday prepping.

I'm not trying to be a defeatist here, but there comes a point when worrying about a possible eventual collapse is not worth it. And I'm not sure doomsday prepping is the answer. But goddamn do I hope to own a piece of land one day in a fairly rural area with a fully off-the-grid existence and subsistence off the land.

That's the retirement idea for me.
