Millennials are really about what they intend to do for retirement, and it is not the Vision Board that Boemers are expecting

Millennials (and even gen zers) often talk about the fact that older generations do not understand how difficult it is for younger people to get ahead in today’s society. One of the biggest things that apparently becomes inaccessible is retirement. So when Reddit User U/Alphadsony colleague -Millennials asked what their pension plans were, their answers were the perfect combination of reality and humor:

6.“I had to retire at the age of 38 because of a disability, and now I live with a amount of money that is about half of the poverty line. I am pretty sure that if my disability does not get me first, long -term poverty will certainly take care of my life expectancy.”

8.“To be honest? High key that wants to move abroad. A good part of my country is damn to be shit, and we have experienced so much decline to be told ‘Less avocado toast’ eating and ‘buying a starter house’ as if something of that practical advice is. “

—O/Oielj-Antk9732

10.‘Die from my work. I am neurodivend and have never worked anything else than jobs in the minimum wage. I have no savings and no pension. One day I will mop, and that will be. My work will be filled that afternoon. “

12.“Turn a currency. Whether I don’t live to see the retirement age, whether I will work until I am 90. And, just to be clear, I have a well-paid and safe job-not loans and savings. I am only convinced that shit will be so bad until I am dead.”

13.“I have a decent job and a solid setup for my retirement … The problem is to earn enough money to live in the meantime. I don’t want to wait until I am in the 60s to afford to live.”

—O/Foolishdrunk211

14.“I had one. I was fired. I am now working in the retail trade. No 401K on this job and a number of student loans, so I can expect to die less than without desirable 🙃. My diploma is in animation; the film industry is in a recession, and a maximum of 50% of the animators are currently unemployed.

16.“I have already tried that for a dozen years. I moved to help my father after a health care. That took seven years with the only jobs that pay decently enough to be close to being in the restaurant industry. I moved to an area with more opportunities than I had before, and I bid in the no few.
