Pretty much 50/50

Should we assume you won't need an even larger 401(k) if the Singularity does happen? I mean, I know it eliminates rent and food, but can't rule out there are new costs we haven't thought of.

The singularity will only be happening on Mars now, we are not rich enough to be informed of further updates.
