"Free"

Both my parents retired. Are they living it up? Are they checking things off their bucket lists? Nope. They're having emergency surgeries, planned surgeries, going to the doctor all the time, taking a regiment of pills or they die, and hanging around the house because they're old and their mobillity isn't great.

A just reward after a lifetime of work.

It's a scam, friends. You're going to work until you're dead or until it doesn't really matter anymore whether you're dead or not.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Hey, I'm ~40 and this is that I do, too! Plus work.

[–] endless_nameless@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Don't mistake this as me saying this work-til-you-die shit is okay, cause it's not. But freedom is as much a mindset as it is a material circumstance. There are people who have everything but freedom and there are people who have nothing but freedom.

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

You think you are going to retire for 5-10 years? Cute.

  • depression for 70 years

[–] sommerset@thelemmy.club 0 points 5 hours ago

I'm telling you guys - life in USSR was much much better than this shit we live in now.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 64 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

0-10 years.

You can die during the first 60 at any time, never making it.

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 27 points 18 hours ago

Or never retire due to circumstances outside your control in your working years

40+ years is a long time for shit to go wrong

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I've watched multiple co-workers not make it to retirement.

Really makes you want to keep doing it.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

All the people I know that died did so once they were retired. No thanks, I'm never quitting the work force. You know how many people I know that died from drinking and driving? Zero.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

i think about this when looking at the deduction % on my paystub i chose for retirement savings i may never use

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

At least it will give your children or siblings something to fight over when you die.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

only 1 child, so he has it easy, unless i remarry, then it may get spicy

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago

Die before retirement? Well that's one way to escape wage slavery 😄

[–] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 3 points 11 hours ago

I’m a 43 year old engineer in an auto plant and I really enjoy my work.

[–] 4everjugon@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

40 Hopefully!

[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 28 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

This framework fails to consider all the time between those main activities, which we spend shitposting.

[–] rucksack@feddit.org 9 points 16 hours ago

Indeed, most days consist of 8 hours working, 8 hours sleeping and 8 hours shitposting.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

Don’t forget sleeping and drinking.

Which we do in order to make the working hours bearable.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 29 points 18 hours ago

How selfish of you to deny your fortune to be able to contribute to the wealth of the chosen few!

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 11 hours ago

The meaning is to live life and enjoy as much as you can along the way.

I'm going to leave my kids more than my parents will leave me, and more than their parents left them, and hopefully they'll be shaped with better ideals because of me.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

40 years? Try 50+

I started working at 14-15, and I'll be happy if I can retire at 65

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 points 13 hours ago

I'm expecting 13-73.

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

Free? That's when your kids send your grandkids for you to take care of. Ungrateful bastards...

[–] pmk@piefed.ca 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

The philosopher Emil Cioran had an interesting take on this. If I read him right we can stop looking for the meaning of life. It won't make us happy to look, but it also won't make us happy to stop. Nothing will make us happy.

[–] PrimeMinisterKeyes@leminal.space 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I don't get it.

[–] four@lemmy.zip 1 points 14 hours ago

I'm on the hedonistic treadmill enjoying the run

[–] salty_chief@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Study never stops though. So technically study would be 60yrs. Shit, I studied more in the US Coast Guard than in school!

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 4 points 17 hours ago

Anf then you move to western or northern europe. Wait you guys got childhoods? Wait you guys get actual 6-8 hours of work a day instead of having 4 hours of unpaid overtime after it? Wait you guys get to retire at an age and health condition where you just travel poor african and asian countries for another 15 years being racist in some very strange colonialist manner?(this last one being a critique)

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The only thing missing from this is the quest for a cruelty free pee, that seems to take up most of our lives these days.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's not my job to educate you

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I generally know what cruelty-free means, but searches for "cruelty free pee" just yield regular stuff about cruelty-free products, as well as some anti-odour thing for pet pee... ;n;

[–] lemmyman@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

/unshitpost

I have no idea either

/reshitpost

Try harder, colonialist

[–] MacaqueAndCheese@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Cruelty free pee is pee that didn't burn when it came out. It's so cruel that God does this to me.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 16 hours ago

Yikes... Good luck with that.

[–] Earthman_Jim@lemmy.zip 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (1 children)

The meaning of life? Learning to enjoy it. Realizing that even though it's a grind sometimes, every instance is something like a miracle, because given all the things from a microbiological scale to an astronomical scale that had to align in just the right sequence for this moment to occur, the probability that you'd even exist to be reading this message is so incredibly close to nil and yet it is happening.

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

The Beatles had the meaning of life in a song back in the day- Life Goes On

That's it, it just goes on

If you're lucky you have a kid
