The problem with this is that you are assuming rationalism. A lot of people don't see beyond next week never mind long term. Those would probably go to school three or four times. They would binge on cancer treatment and get redundantised as much as possible, therefore signing on the dole at the same time as claiming student beneductions. The net result of this is that those long on pension mindedness would never get anything because of lack of compound interest.

You could take all the money in the world, divide it up equally and 12 months later you would have some people who'd doubled what they were initially given and some who had lost the lot - that's people for you

If you assume global economics is a zero sum game...
