Can retire

hahaha I will never be able to retire, I will just become feral and wander into the woods to die

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 47 points 7 months ago

my retirement plan is dying in a socialist revolution

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 34 points 7 months ago

Ah, an optimist!

[-] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago

If I retire, I'm probably going to be sharing Marxist and Anarchist extremist content on Facebook the way boomers still post about Obama today.

Pensions aren't really a thing anymore, so... Retirement funds I suppose?

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 31 points 7 months ago

I feel like there’s probabilities associated with that stuff. Most people’s retirements are tied to stock markets

This information would harm the worldview of Washington Post staffers

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

No information can impact the worldview of Washington Post staffers

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 15 points 7 months ago

Maybe not information, but there's always gui-better

They are, I lost 300 dollars last week from my "retirement savings" lmao

Yea, but real talk: barring the collapse of the US empire, you will make money in the long run.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

That's some clown world type shit.

What happened to pensions? Did Reagan mess that up too?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

Yes, indirectly but yes.

conspiracy by big bank to force you to care about "the economy"

[-] FloridaBoi@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

They also make broker commissions and account fees from holding investments. Just skimming right off your earnings

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

it is so fucked, if you earn little and you get auto-enrolled into a default scheme with high fees in the UK, literally your entire savings will be eroded by fees within the year
