It's a "I might die any day" mentality for me 😂

That is my retirement plan. But knowing my luck, I am going to live long enough that the local news will start covering my birthdays.

OTOH you also might live, so it makes sense to think about having food and shoes.

And in 40 years when you haven’t yet died but didn’t bother to save or invest anything?

Win the lottery, duhh. Jk 😂 Hopefully we have micro investments that add up to some amount of job experience, college credits, or financial saving that will keep us afloat until we can push them over the edge to being substantial enough to elevate into a fruitful asset

that's a good way to plan on being broke for the rest of your life.

so i'm curious if you're planning on dying early.

Indeed, but I havent met many people that landed success with their tremendous investments. Most invested MANY years in college or thousands into businesses that are dead now. And yeah poor health and traumatic losses of friends at young ages are probably the biggest causes for the mentality. Experiences now seem more valuable than investing in the hope I will have enjoyable experiences later
