If you retire with no SS, medicare, an insurance that is required to cover you, medicaid to keep the doors open for even a retirement home to care for you, and your 401K is destroyed from the plunging depression that's on the rise... it might be cool to worry a bit.
I'll be riding my bike till I feel and die.
I've never understood people who get bored in retirement. I looked forward to it from the very start of my career, and now that I am retired I've gotten so into hobbies and interests that it feels like there still isn't enough time for everything.
Yeah, I also have 5 hobbies and many more interests. I am only scared that I don't have enough energy left in me once I retire.
It's amazing how much energy you get from waking up without the obligation to go somewhere and work on somebody else's shit all day because you have to. Gives me a big smile every morning!
Here's to hoping we still have the physical ability to engage with those hobbies and interests.
it's because they had enjoyable work. not the slave trade were in today.
Oh yeah I forgot, careers were an endlessly fulfilling series of fun exciting tasks. And job interviews were like, "A white male with a college degree? You're hired!" Everybodty's ignorant fantasies about the past are staggeringly accurate!
Lol to thinking that it was better. Capitalism was always terrible for normal people.
But many people just don't have a lot of hobbies. Change is also scary for many people.
Gaming and smoking a shit ton of weed in retirement is gonna be great… if we still have social security and access to 401k’s at that point lmao
That sounds like what I do now except I have to start at 4:45 instead of when I wake up...
If they cut the system, we'll get the money in our pay. So at least we can control it. Just don't spend it on games that will hit your backlog and sit for years. I'm personally guilty btw.

What do you think I plan on doing in my retirement?
Right. Some people update their 401k, in over here updating my back log....only 40 more years until I retire. Or die at 90.
Retirement home LAN parties... That's the dream
Invites all around! Remind me in 20 years.
Dude. Yes.
That’s what I keep going for
Hopefully all your friends are still around
That might be a problem. What friends?
You can make some at true retirement home. Sad part is, our generation isn't getting any of those, most of us will be working till we drop.
I'll restart and 100% stardew valley or die trying. Always wanted to commit to it, never did.
My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.
By the time I retire I hope we're in or moving towards a mix of solarpunk and star trek like utopia
I don't think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.
You just move to a county with actual Healthcare as part of your retirement. Won't even need 5 mil.
And then you die because a blood clot that formed in your leg came loose and shot up into your brain, because you’ve been sitting for weeks playing videogames.
