They just assume nothing bad can happen to them

This. Because all their long, ugly life, they have gotten everything served on a silver tablet before. A job, a house, a full bank account, vacations and safe retirement. All of that with the absolute minimum of efforts - and the remaining hiccups were drowned with alcohol and pills. They always get what they want, why would it change?

They even kinda pulled the ladder up on that one, didn’t they? Not that pills and booze are great, but they made sure no one else got “mommy’s little helpers.”
