I'm hoping Basic Income will be up and running by the time I hit my late 60s.

But the "basic income" proposals are completely unrealistic. The real proposals, generally referred to as "helicopter money" are about just forgiving central-bank owned government debt, then using the free cash to embark on large infrastructure projects.

You won't see any of that cash unless you're involved in the building industry.
