*Has perfect amount of savings to retire comfortably*

*blows it all on an expensive camper van with 'screw the kid's inheritance' and 'adventure before dementia' bumper stickers*

*is surprised when they need but can no longer afford aged care*

*don't worry, it's our kids turn to care for us. Nope, they work full time jobs but are barely afloat*

My dad said that he is going to work until he dies, and that everyone should work until they die. He's saved money because he is so busy working that he doesn't have time to spend it.

Work until you die.

A shotgun + bullets is only like $200 and surely you can save enough for that.

Retirement is a thing that happens on television. In the same way that television depicts average families living in mansions, people working creative dream jobs and the middle class existing.

If your retirement plan is to kill yourself, then why wait? You could retire right now. Help fix some of our other problems like unemployment and social security.

401ks are a theft and it's hosed that the private sector puts up with em. I have a pension and I'll retire at 80% pay at 55.

I work in an industry that notoriously pays poorly (restaurants/fine dining) but even I managed to buy a house, have a retirement plan that I contribute to regularly, zero credit card debt, six months of expenses tucked away in a rainy-day account and a car for both my wife and I that are paid in full.

The secrets to my success: live in a midwestern city with a good growth rate and low cost of living, not having kids, having a minimalist lifestyle, and smoking weed everyday.

I am two steps above mouth-breathing retard but if I can do it so can you.
