I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

If you are non-tech background, please comment and share what you do for life.

The transition is what is scary and complicated with post-growth and that is very much understandable... Because we can envision how it would look like, but for this, systemic change is needed, and we know how well changing everything at the same time is impossible and/or won't go the way we envisioned it at first. And pensions are not working the same everywhere, so transitions wouldn't be the same everywhere too.

Couple references though about transforming pension schemes and how a different monetary system would contribute to it too, hope it may help already! (Second one is a PhD dissertation, but the guy already published articles, at least the dissertation is open access!):

Thanks for this! I will dig into those references over the weekend. Hopefully they provide a little peace of mind. Cheers.
