I was surprised to find that I don't worry about any of the factors on your list, and even surprised when I checked "none of the above" to find that I was the only participant who had done so. Not that I don't worry about the future, just that I worry about concerns not on your list, such as an imminent economic collapse or, even worse, that such a collapse (combined with peak oil and other resource depletion issues) might be severe enough to knock our society into widespread violence and looting for a time. How I might plan to survive such a scenario is currently occupying my worry space. A drop in my material standard of living? Ha, I regard that as inevitable, and I stopped worrying about it a few years ago. David S. Hi Sarah.
