here, in this thread



*assuming you do not live in a country with a worthwhile social safety net

[Ninny]

I live in one of those countries with a worthwhile social safety net I do not worry about these things, I just try to stay fit

i often wonder what i will do for work when i get older. sometimes i think i'd like to teach younger kids about computers as i wish i had a good computer teacher when i was little.

I have some money tied up in stocks but it's laughably not anywhere close to enough to live on for more than a couple of years at most at this point. Hopefully by time I retire it will have grown enough to be worthwhile, assuming the economy doesn't crash in the near future. I'm more concerned with saving enough to buy a house - not having to pay rent or a mortgage once you're retired would make things a lot easier for sure.

my retirement plan is banking on being dead before i get to 'retirement age'

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I feel that should only be an option if you are in shit health. If I was in constant pain and struggled with everyday life when I'm an old fart I think I would just say fuck it.

[Hitoshura]

i'm reasonably healthy right now but the odds don't favor me making it to 65, let alone past it

that's before you consider the student loans and other shit that prevent me from actually saving money

[Verbal]

this thread being made feels like a turning point in the mabb history

we have officially made it to "suppa retirement plans"

[Josh]

What stormy said. I'll be surprised if I make it to 45
