Millennial here. Us, too.
Gen X checking in. What happens when I can no longer work or no one will employ me, but I cannot afford to retire?
Retire? Is that some kind of a car thing?
Ohhh so that’s why I was told I’ll never be able to retire, because I can’t afford a car! Makes sense now
I've been pondering this one myself for awhile. I knew a decade ago that, barring massive financial change, I would never be able to afford to retire. So these are the options:
The first two are the default and just kind of accepted by society as fair and just. The last one, strangely, gets all sorts of pushback, even though the only material difference is 20-30 years of mundane toil to make line go up.
Pretty sure you just die. Of a heart attack. From stress.
Same and I was already homeless thanks to the W era and clawed my way back to mostly stable. It's a traumatic experience I don't want to repeat.
