Oh sweet summer child... There isn't going to be many elderly millennials. Most of us will die off from our fifth "once in a generation" financial crisis, WW3, or the collapse of the environment. Hopefully the younger generations use our bones to build a better society.

    On top of the fact that you need to have saved money to pay to live in a retirement home.

    Are... Are there people that sort of really hope to just go from their patents' basement to a retirement home?

    How many of us are still in our parents' basements? I'm nearly 40, struggling through our 20s was one thing but by now...

    A major problem is that the demographics for Millennial retirement are a lot worse than for Boomers. Boomers at least had a decent number of millennials to help support them in retirement.

  • Oh my God not this birthrate bullshit.

    Birthrates aren't down by much globally. Just learn a language and don't be a piece of shit to the rest of the world.

    Maybe rationalize labor practices and add some automation while you're at it.

    What's really gonna stop us retiring is climate change
