You might not even make it to retirement age.
I hope I never reach that - can’t afford to be alive then.

Same. And I’m 69. Got a few good working years left, then…
What is the average retirement age in your area?
Average? I’m not sure. Expected is 65 though. I’m in US, and collecting my meager social security benefits. Recently reduced my work week to 40-45 most weeks
You work that much of hours a week? Oh my… still with your age? It’s a shame. I hope that soon things will work out for you and a nice and deserved retirement waiting. Thumbs pressed!
How’s your 401k looking? I checked mine recently and there wasn’t Jack shit in it.
It was like opening a box of disillusionment.
I’m hoping suicide booths are a thing by the time I retire, something like in Futurama. I’ll just blow all my savings on a yearlong worldwide cruise or something and then call it a life. The other option is moving to a 2nd world country with universal healthcare to make it stretch, the first option sounds more fun though to be honest.
My MIL got cancer and died one year after retiring. She was the kindest person I will ever know. Life is bullshit.
Sorry about your MIL, genuinely kind people are few and far between in this world.
And this is why I’m not having kids lol imagine subjecting new people to this shit
I’m in the same boat. Things are likely going to get worse as well. It would be rather cruel to subject people to the coming horrors to satisfy your own ego.
This show should go down as one of the best comedies of all time. The way they meshed humor with philosophy and religion was a masterstroke. The ending always gets me to bawl (only About Time was able to replicate that ). The cast all around was perfect. That fucker Michael Schur did it again.
What is the show?
American kids: Retirement? Don’t tell me fairy tales, boomer.
I should’ve been dead by the age of 24 due to an aneurysm, yet I’m still here in my early 40’s. So I lived my life taking risks and expecting the early death, only to still be here long past my expiration.
Every ounce of my luck must be spent keeping me alive, because my life is abnormally unlucky in every other aspect.
Are you sometimes stuck in awkward smalltalk and hope your aneurysm would just pop in that exact moment?
Bruh… this made me laugh so hard.
No you could just say “hey btw I had an aneurysm last time when someone tried smalltalk, maybe stop talking unless you want me to sue you for causing an aneurysm like I sue the person who caused my aneurysm the last time” immediately proceeds to have an aneurysm
As a lawyer, I have no retirement age. But at least I enjoy my work a lot!
I always wanted to be a criminal defence lawyer after having a bad interaction with the police, but I’m currently too depressed to handle that. I’m way over-empathetic, so if I ever become a lawyer and have a client who I genuinely believe is innocent, if they get convicted of BS charges, I’d be heartbroken to see an innocent person getting convicted, and probably blame myself for it. Maybe being a lawyer just isn’t for me.
