The great scam. You can retire and live a decent life, just so long as you don't plan on growing old and needing medical care.

Oh, that's part of retirement? Weird how Noone thought of that problem this whole time.

Look you just need to work your ass off every single day. And yes that means even if you're sick. Don't care or worry about having any hobbies or activities that are worth while. For you may be able to spent once per two weeks on it. Anyway, Once you're around 80 THEN you're supposed to do the things you like, alright?! Is that so unreasonable??

P.S. Oh the thing you love to do requires you to be flexible and active? Well why didn't you do that when you were young?
