My retirement plan depends on the collapse of society.

Look on the bright side, high stress poverty life style has a good chance of killing you in your 50s of an early heart attack!

Already on 2 different meds for blood pressure and just turned 30 aw ywaaaaaaa 😎😎😎

Beware, that was me 6 years ago. Now I'm on meds for blood pressure, antidepressants, anti-anxiety, I need regular physiotherapy (keep good posture kids) and I just had to have 6 blood tests because I've had a stomach-ache for 2 weeks and noone knows why... I genuinely don't remember what point I was going to make, so I guess this is just a rant now. But try not to follow in my footsteps.

Edit: Word

Just because I spend years trying to figure out what the stabbing pain in my bladder was, you might want to consider referred pain from the spine. Or referred pain at all, because at 40, it's happening a fair amount.

Only one for me, but holy hell is it scary when I miss a pill, feel like Willy Wonka is turning me into a blueberry.

Which is still a while after the revolution. Checks out.

Mr. 11-fucking-minutes of joy and solitude, rubbing it in our faces. He’s just like Jeff Bezos.

Asshole.

I ran the numbers, have you considered dying young?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, you don't have to live until 97 if you retire earlier 🫂

12 gauge retirement plan for me

[–] pdxfed 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Rest easy, in the US, because of the QOL disparities, current tables aren't publicizing how much less time poor people get once they "retire", which now includes working for the most part and collecting social security disadvantageously early. It's 4-6 years less life for the poor's collecting SS at lower rates--so you won't need a full 11 minutes of funds, probably 8 or 9.

Eleven whole minutes‽ Ooh, check out Monies Georg over here!

If you want to retire, just go live in a forest at that point.

[–] trxxruraxvr 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Living in a forest takes a lot of hard work if you intend to stay alive. Not what most retirees are looking for.

[–] Persen 0 points 2 months ago

That's the point I'm trying to make. It's still a better retirement plan.

[–] rayyy -3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's the problem. He did financial planning. Buy property, tools, plant fruit trees and learn to garden and forage.

[–] Lightor 3 points 2 months ago

Lemme just plant a doctor tree for all the healthcare I'll need later in life.
