I’m not inclined to work past 36.
I’m currently 36.
My tips for surviving beyond middle age.
Move to a country with socialised healthcare and reasonable unemployment systems.
Develop a mental illness, you’re 36 so you probably have a couple already.
Apply for disability and reduce your workload to 20 hours a week.
Have your parents die so you can have a chance at owning a house so you have somewhere to die other than hospice.
Kids are a double edged sword, kill you now, look after you later. Might be better financially to not bother, as you’ll have to go back to full time work just for a chance to ensure they don’t grow up neglected, and if they do there goes your retirement.
Have your parents die? So murder your parents?
Also Kids are not a double edge sword. You are not supposed to have kids, so they take care of you when you are old. That’s just a recipe for them growing up neglected.
Countries with socialized healthcare and reasonable unemployment systems aren’t letting poor Americans in.
Next up: “60 is the new 50!”
fuck
Opt out of the system.
Really easy. Go by 30s.
0-30: young
30-60: middle aged
60+: elderly
So yeah, 50 is middle aged, it’s just not the start.
0-18 young
18-20 unable to fit in
20-30 everything gets worse
30-60 everything gets worse but you are used to it (also you are basically a oldtimer with 30)
60-💀 waiting for 💀
also you are basically a oldtimer with 30
If your history weren’t filled with English speaking content I’d say “found the German”
