      lol right? Must be nice to afford to put more than your employer’s match into your 401k

          As far as I understand, I don’t have a 401k. I have nothing. I have never considered retirement to be a reasonable outcome for anyone in my generation or younger, but even still, it’s not like I would have been able to save more than a scant couple thousand after decades of work.

            for anyone in my generation or younger

            You think no adults entering the workforce in the last ~20 years if going to be able to retire? What little bubble are you living in?

              The bubble where the entire concept of retirement will be lost. Where society will crumble into wearing tribes fighting over arable land and fresh water. That one. That bubble. The bubble where this will begin in earnest in our lifetime. The bubble that says this fascist wave around the world is just the precursor and that as people get more desperate, things will only get worse.
