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?
Well if they bothered to submit those patents instead of leaving them in the basement then they might be able to live in 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...
I dunno. Depends on the acceptability of calling it a "multi - generational household" because Boomers locked up to much wealth and now have to live with the consequences.
I should change my name to "The Consequences" since I live with my boomer parents
Right?! I don't know any millennial whose retirement plan isn't just hitting a certain age and killing ourselves.
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
Knowing people, they'll use them to bash each other in the face, more likely...
