When i was 35 i did the math and was depressed after i found that i couldn't retire until 73 at the earliest. Now it's in my early 80ies.

Hey. Thats wrong. There's plenty of options for retirement!

Die in the water wars.

Throw the dice and (probably) die in the revolution

Kill yourself in an extravagant bacchanal paid for entirely with debt.

Pretend you're doing the revolution thing and sell the rest of humanity out. Get a little luxury pod to live in for a few years, until killing yourself.

Get neolobotomized and live in full solipsistic bliss while your body labors as a zombie, wiyh only your motor controll being networked to a machine.

And the old classics of not-explicitly-suicide deaths of despair!

Thanks. That was utterly depressing but enjoyable. But depressing.

I just saw a 70 something year old today hobbling around a factory I was working in. I hope I don't have to work until I'm falling apart... Probably will, but I can wish. Lol

My retirement plan is to die in the climate wars

Da fuck.. I retired at 35, am 60 this year. My only regret was not retiring earlier. I did the calcs at 19 and hoped to be retired at age 30 but was delayed, young and naive and all that.

I was FIRE long before I even knew it was a thing, i just knew I didn't belong in the mainstreamt.

Am Australian.
