I agree completely with everything you are saying. I always ask my brother- if everyone is retiring and the population is aging, who are you selling your stocks to when you want to retire?

Why would you need to sell them? Many companies pay dividends.

But the question still stands, where will the dividends come from if the companies are underperforming and everyone is retired/dead?

Looking at it from a "retiring now-to-soon" perspective, FIRE is great! Keep buying everything I have to sell! There will definitely be someone around to buy them off you when you need to sell ;)
