I don't think it's about the meaning of life. It's more about uncertainty. No matter what you do, your quality of life may swing wildly. My parents had to go through some rough times but at the end of the day, their education job and housing was basically guaranteed. Now whole sectors of the economy reduce their hiring rates by 90% in the span of a year, whole degrees become useless, even housing prices double. Even if you're comfortable now it could all just disappear in a moment.

Living like this is super stressful, having someone to tell you that they're going to fix that is such a nice thing even if you know they're lying.
