    I’m barely into my 30’s so it’s far too early to say what I’ll be doing. I aim to be debt free within 10 years and have no major life goals after that. Another 10 years and pension should cover my living costs 1:1, so monetarily I should be fine.

    Becoming so rich that greeds corrupts me and becoming the villian that I always despised.

    Or die.

    Probably the latter tho… 😓

    Statistically people with depression like me is at a higher risk of suicide so yea maybe I’d be dead. Or since I’m in the US, die due to political persecution. Basically just boils down to “die”.

    One day, yes. I budget accordingly and am lucky enough to be paid relatively well. But at the same time, I prioritize quality of life now because there’s no guarantee I’ll make it to retirement. Id rather retire later if it means better qol now.

    Barring societal collapse I believe I will be able to retire, but that’s only because I’ve gotten extraordinarily lucky in life.

    Nope, never. My retirement plan is a ditch with a nice view of the Rockies in Colorado and a bottle of gin on a cold winter night. Everything I’ve saved into (SS, TSP, retirement accounts) will inevitably disappear before I can access them/hit the age requirements. I don’t trust the system at all (I didn’t trust it before the election outcome either). I’m fucked. We’re all fucked. Might as well live it up now while I still can.

    No. My mother has unretired twice and my grandmother has come out of retirement four times. They don’t have the knack for it and I doubt I will either.

    If I ever get off my ass and actually make all these games, maybe. If the ideas are as good as I hope they are.

    Incurable cancer, chemo brain means I can’t concentrate and often have trouble thinking straight. Involuntarily “retired” on medical insurance. Not working wasn’t what I expected it to be.

    Yep, about to turn thirty and have been paying into an Ira, a Roth Ira and a 401k, I want to retire as soon a possible and do things that actually make me happy.
