The nice thing is I'm not saving anything for retirement since the world is ending soon. I'm laughing at all my coworkers worrying about their 401K matches.

That's not smart. Just look at the simplified game tree. What's your utility of what you're putting in a 401k? If we save the world you won't be destitute in old age.
Not op but I'd be very happy to be destitute in old age just by knowing humanity saved the world.
I think the same as you do, although I'm still saving money (maybe to blow it all in a good party). But a worry I have is, what if there's a way for a low percentage of people to survive, but it would cost mucho money? (Welcome to hyper-capitalism). Imagine if you could've joined this Noah's ark had you saved enough..

Not that 401ks will mean much if society collapses...
