Same here. 44 and know I can never retire. Lost two 401ks in divorces. I don't expect social security to be able to help when I'm old enough. I will never own a house. I juat figure I'm working til I croak.
Don't suck that defeatist tit. You're still young and you can make enough money to save and retire to live comfortably. Start saving now even it's 10-20$/week. Save as much as you can so when you do retire you'll have that money and social security.
I agree with 100%
Suddenly, this group sounds like a bunch of liberals with victim mentality. It’s fucking pathetic.
There are ways to make and save retirement money.
I still won't have a house. I have savings to keep me going until probably running back to my mom, but it's not enough for a house, especially since I am on my own. I can't risk a mortgage on a single income. And rent is insane now, I can't imagine later. I haven't gotten anything more as a raise than "standard inflation" which is between 2 and 4% in 8 years. While my rent, in the same place, has almost doubled. Plus my boss is so excited about replacing us with AI.
You’re fooling yourself if you think social security will still be around in 25 years.
