>get woken up by boomers discussing how they unironically can never retire because they'd go crazy

just shows how dumb that generation is. they have all they money in the world and not a clue of what to do with it.

I unironically don't understand the retirement meme. Living in a Western country, unless you're retarded, you can shape your life to do pretty much any sort of job you like. Anybody who can focus for 4 month learning python+javascript can't ever not be able to get a job, so it's not like anything can happen to you. Get some money until you can do what you like, and then - when you do what you like - why would you want to effectively end your life by retirement?

Retirement is a death sentance. Greedy fucks just want to live forever.

A "job" is just what you do. I don't say "work a job" forever, I say don't stop doing what you enjoy doing. If your daily occupation (the "job") isn't exactly what you want to do, then you went down the wrong path. And yes I know you won't get income from living a life on an island just reading - it's clear that not all paths translate to jobs. But I'm certain everybody under 30 can start doing something monetizable that they actually like - something they wouldn't have to quit once they turn 70

Holy Yikes. A boomer sympathizer on biz. What a world.

[Anonymous No.14058155]

It’s because they’re an entire generation of retards. What little intelligence they were born with the burned away with drugs, alcohol and sexually transmitted diseases.

They’re literally garbage, their entire generation. If I didn’t HAVE to work you’d never catch me wasting another second of my life doing it.

Boomers are children, they need structure and a schedule because they can’t keep to themselves or be productive, also if given 5 minutes they might start to think about all the regarded shit they’ve done with their lives and how all their shitty irresponsible decisions are closing in on them and they’re gonna die soon.

Just keep moving and lease another Lexus, don’t worry about it.

Millenials and zoomers are way worse in this regard, i wonder how my generation at large will look when we are in our 60s (late 20s now).

I agree though, the second i don't have to work anymore i will be done with it. Too many other things to pursue without my life, energy, and time being devoted to the grind.

Older Millenials, what used to be Gen Y now lumped in with millennials are by and large alright, especially the males.

They make up the core of the populist movement in the US, not perfect, but unironically the last hope the west has.

Male Gen Y everywhere is the last hope. Old enough to have dodged the bullet when Marxist went full sped in primary and secondary education in the late 2000's, old enough to have experienced what a small recession looks like and how centralized institutions and their parents fucked up the future for dozens of generations to come to not lose their "investments". Also experienced the start of the informational age and have a completely different access to computers and the internet than later generations let alone Boomers and GenX. Lot of them also had the chance to had greatest generation grand parents that taught them basic survival techniques for shtf situations like farming, hunting and fishing.

My dad retired from shitty factory work recently and almost immediately started working full time at home depot because he was bored
Makes me sad

[Anonymous No.14058466]

>>14058014
Because most jobs suck. What you are saying only would apply to like 10% of top jobs and maybe about 50% businesspeople. Everyone else just was in to chase money to have a comfy lifestyle or to avoid poverty, and their job was just a means towards that.

>But I'm certain everybody under 30 can start doing something monetizable that they actually like - something they wouldn't have to quit once they turn 70
That's what your entire argument relies upon, and also where it falls apart. Nothing I like is monetizable. You can't force people to like things that result in income.

If you would've said everyone should be able to find a job that helps, combined with discipline, to retire comfortably then I'd agree. I'm a cost accountant - with the way I save and invest now, even though I don't like my job, I'll retire by 40-45. And then I'll do the stuff I enjoy that doesn't happen to be monetizable for the rest of my days.

One boomer I heard said
>when I tried retiring a few years ago I worked on my car from 8am to 5pm.i treated it like a job. I just had to have some structure but after 6 months my brain was totally fried and I knew I had to go back to work

[Anonymous No.14058665]

>>14058491
A lot of them are fucked in the head. My Dad was brought up on a farm where he was taught anything like sports/movies and hobbies in general are wastes of time for children and failures. Pretty much always be working. Also that laughter was the language of demons so we weren't allowed to laugh at home growing up.

Whatta ya mean? I have a hobby!
>take boat into dealership once a month for oil change/cosmetic service
excuse to talk about boat and cost of boat
>drains gas weekly to "keep her from gettin clogged"
excuse to drive around the neighborhood showing off boat, stop at gas station to tell everyone how much you spent on boat
>refi/upgrade every 2 years for new boat, well into the 3rd child's college fund by now
wont let kids near boat, too "busy" "working" the same assistant manager job for 40 years to actually use boat.

One of the advantages being one of the head database monkeys of one of the biggest fund raising companies of the world, access to hundred thousands of addresses and private informations of loaded Boomers and traitors from all over the world. If I drop the information gathered over years they will have no place to hide if shit goes down. And the best thing, they trust me, those retards.
