As a young American, I can't help but to think that I will be spending a large portion of my adult life living in a down turn. There are many forces that will be coming into play that will eventually have a negative effect on my and my families standard of living:
-Artificial Intelligence
-Climate change
-Healthcare
-Immigrantion
-Wealth Inequality
-Housing
-Federal fiscal mismanagement
-Growing Anti intellectualism
-An economy more and more based on gambling, exploitation, and war.
-An Elite class that has more loyalty to their own global members than to the nations they come from.

And this list could go on and on. I know that it is common for someone living in any era to feel as if they are in the 'end times' or that the good times are already gone and history finds that they were mostly proven incorrect. Even knowing this, I look at the challenges of the future and I am at a loss as to what I should do to ensure I live a long and prosperous life. Have you read any books that could give some guidance in this regard? Or do you have an advice to give to someone with these anxieties?
