Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations.

About 41% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials — those who are currently between 27 and 42 years old — are significantly more likely to want to do some form of paid work during retirement.

This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Although younger workers don’t intend to stop working, there is still an effort to beef up their retirement savings.

It’s ok! Don’t ever retire! Just work until you die, preferably not at work, where we’d have to deal with the removal of your corpse.

      Ask a question, albeit rhetorical. Get answer that seems to agree with your stance.

      Be a dick about it.

      You got many friends?

          it tracks that this place is home to the socially unaware and the illiterate

          do you seriously just go through comments sections without reading the article? fuck, critical thinking is a lost art.

            This is gonna be a bitter pill to swallow, but yes, everyone else in the thread is literally a bunch of brain-dead NPCs who expect the good life they want to be handed to them and don’t want to accept that this slave racket that masquerades as a society never will.

            They have no independent traits at all: no critical thinking, no initiative, and here’s the kicker:

            You’re never going to convince them to cultivate those skills, and pressuring them to do it will only make them gang up on you and try to harm you.

            Humans are just disgusting. Don’t waste your time with them.
