Whether you are a wagie or a NEET I think we can all agree wagecucking into your retirement is a fate worse than death.

I'll never work. If all else fails I'll knock up a black woman 10 times and collect welfare for the rest of my life.

Never had a chance.

LMAO his name is fucking Coomer.

You're missing the point. Thanks to covid, a lot of stuff, that was gonna happen anyway, down the line, is happening as we speak. Soon, wagecucking won't be an option, anyway, for an ever expanding group of occupations.
Isaac Sanders
note the first words out of his mouth "if i had planned better when i was younger". Anyone on this board will certainly retire before 65 purely by knowing about crypto right now. Anybody still working when they're 65 deserves to desu. Unless your life is destroyed by an Act of God, there is no excuse for not having your shit together enough to fucking retire by 65.

We have a lot more information freely available to us now than we did just a few decades ago before the internet got big. For instance, even science was restricted to those who could pay for access to scholarly journals, let alone financial information that could be used to get out of poverty.
Michael Rodriguez
scientific journals are mainly for enthusiasts, practical science and medicine information was easily available at libraries. and while boomers may have had less access to business information, the barrier for success was literally 1000x less severe than it is now. you could pick ANY job, save your money, buy a house, and cruise for the rest of your life. boomers who failed are the lowest of the low

All they had to do was invest such a tiny percent of their income every month and they would've been fine. Seriously, how the fuck can you not afford to save money in a place as cheap as Oklahoma, especially if you had such a comfy job?
Nathaniel Rogers
You know it.
You didn't pay attention
1) He lost his job nearly 30 years ago, and had been living off those same savings for 20 years.
2) He only had a High School diploma. They don't teach you how to invest, nor was it considered necessary in the age of pension retirement.

Working is really not that bad, espcially if you're educated and experienced. You can command not being treated like a cuck.

FDR gave boomers unrealistic expectations about retirement
Adam Ramirez
>work 50 years
>never save or invest anything
>complain that you can't afford to retire
People who do this are literally mental retardation-tier intelligence.
All you have to do is save 10% of your paycheck in an index fund for your working years and you will retire a millionaire if you made anything close to a median wage during your lifetime.
Instead these instant gratification losers spend everything they have (and often go into debt to spend even more than they have) and then cry about the government not giving them more handouts once they reach the end of their period of usefulness to society.

Anthony Ramirez
They weren't exactly unrealistic until slowly beginning with the transition to fiat currency during Nixon's term onward to such other economic tragedies like Reagan's amnesty and repeal of the Glass–Steagall act. If anything, you should blame Boomers for their lack of awareness and anticipation of consequences.

Jobs are slavery and a crime against humanity. The only way out of wage slavery is de-facto MGTOW. Live with your parents for as long as possible, invest wisely, and move out by around 30 or so. Then keep saving and investing aggressively.
I hope to follow this plan and retire by 40-45.
Jack Wood
You are applying Great Recession lessons anachronistically to broken 20th century promises.
Luke Foster
Boomers lived life on easy mode. I think any boomer with financial problems must have neurological deficiencies.
Adam Russell
Yeah 80 is not boomer range so I feel bad for him. At least he is rich in terms of the relationship with his wife.

By the time you're 40, what is there left to enjoy? All your peers will be miserable slaves still, and you will be in the first stages of old age.
You really should strive to make it no later than by your 30s, because at that point, you still have a life to look forward to while you're still standing far enough away from it.
Jason Young
OP's particular case isn't quite a boomer, and he had a manufacturing job right up until the point when they started getting outsourced overseas, and that cost him his exit plan right at the finish line. You must understand, this man had no professional degree and all the jobs in his field were drying up; on top of that, his company screwed him out of his retirement.
