If you retire with no SS, medicare, an insurance that is required to cover you, medicaid to keep the doors open for even a retirement home to care for you, and your 401K is destroyed from the plunging depression that’s on the rise… it might be cool to worry a bit.

I’ve never understood people who get bored in retirement. I looked forward to it from the very start of my career, and now that I am retired I’ve gotten so into hobbies and interests that it feels like there still isn’t enough time for everything.

Yeah, I also have 5 hobbies and many more interests. I am only scared that I don’t have enough energy left in me once I retire.

Here’s to hoping we still have the physical ability to engage with those hobbies and interests.

Lol to thinking that it was better. Capitalism was always terrible for normal people.

But many people just don’t have a lot of hobbies. Change is also scary for many people.

You can make some at true retirement home. Sad part is, our generation isn’t getting any of those, most of us will be working till we drop.

If they cut the system, we’ll get the money in our pay. So at least we can control it. Just don’t spend it on games that will hit your backlog and sit for years. I’m personally guilty btw.

Right. Some people update their 401k, in over here updating my back log…only 40 more years until I retire. Or die at 90.
