The best thing I can do for a successful retirement is commit some crimes and get arrested. A "small" contribution is still outside my price range. You gotta be putting away hundreds a month at least. Retirement simply isn't something you can plan for if you make below average income.

Which sounds nice, but not realistic. As others have also said, there will always need to be ditch diggers. Not everyone is going to be able to retire. No matter how many Eminem lyrics you know.

Gatekeeping retirement to only the wealthy is unacceptable to me (and many here). Be gay, do crime, and mooch off the system that fucks so many over.
