Correction, it's your money that's serving as an INVESTMENT in your own, and the country's, future to ensure that your grandchildren have the same decent shot at a decent paying job just as you do now. Because if you don't make that investment, your grandkids will find it very hard to find work.
Such is the way economics works. Sometimes making investments isn't about gaining a return on investment, sometimes it's about avoiding losses.
