Retiring in your 60s is becoming an impossible goal. Is 75 the new 65?

Basically, work till you die. Never own anything.

People are living longer, and daily life is getting more expensive. It may be time to rethink the timeline for leaving the workforce.

No. People are not living longer. And, when you factor out the extremities, under 2, and over 100, people have been dying earlier for the last 20 years.

Things are getting more expensive and government sucks your quality of life away through inflationary spending.

We have made vast strides in medicine at keeping babies from dying. When an infant dies, they drag the average down considerably.

Roughly, if 1 baby dies at age 1, it takes 3 or 4 people living to 100 to offset the average loss. 7 or 8 living to 80 will offset that average loss.

By helping kids live past infancy, the average life expectancy increases.

Infant deaths are not counted, especially back before birth certificates.

Wrong.

Gene pools are a eugenics myth. Don't be that guy.

We aren't animals, ya dum dum. We aren't a herd and we aren't bred.

By helping kids live past infancy, the average life expectancy increases.

However, now we face a lifetime of endless poisons, thereby dragging the average back down from the other end.

Was just short of that when I abandoned a great deal of hecticness for a lowkey life.

Don't worry, no matter how much money you save up for retirement, the medical system will take it all away long before you die.

Go early at 62 and draw what you can draw.
By 65 or 70 there won't be anything to draw at the rate the last 20yrs has shown.

Why do people WANT to retire and do fuck all?

Keep going, it'll keep you alive longer. I don't mean for some janky corpo, make your own business before then.

You can draw pensions here at least while you work at the same time, meaning if you work while you're older you'll have a much easier life.

Don't be a useless old fuck and die alone.

If you can't think of anything to do in retirement age except work, you're a dipshit.

You want to sit around and do what exactly while the world burns?

Partake in hobbies, pass times, travel and spend time with friends and family. I can't believe I need to explain this. If you'd rather be working you failed

But hobbies are work. I'm not talking about sitting at a desk doing work for some globohomo corp. Literally anything that involves effort is work. If you relax too much you'll die faster.
