Yup.
Mom just retired at 70. On her feet working for society for 50 years. Now she hobbles around home with the help of a walker. She'll spend the last 5-10 years of her life hanging out at home, with her only trips being to the doctor's office.
Because this is all a scam to burn the lives of average people so the wealthy can live better than any kings from antiquity ever did.
And our fates will be the same, or worse, if we don't eat these motherfuckers.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don't want to live that long. Whenever the time feels right, I want to "retire" with whatever savings I might have, and ride it out until going out on my own terms. When that time feels right, I don't know, but it'll come.
I'm on that mixing heroin into my daily life in my 60s retirement plan. If I make it that long. To quote AJJ, "I smoke like a fucking chimney, I declare war on my body!"
I'll punch my ticket when I'm done.
