Yes. If you're not around to manage the money, it's far more likely to be embezzled or end up used on something no longer useful.

Also, many possible risks you can see coming before they actually happen. The Brazilian Empire isn't going to invade and pillage the USA in the next 10 years, but can you be so sure that it won't happen in the 3240s?

We look tame on the outside... but it's the atom's inside that counts...
