        There you go turning a larger socioeconomic issue into a personal one. The current system is designed to prevent anyone from acquiring wealth unless they’re both high class and lucky enough to not get wiped out by an injury or disaster. Unless there is major systemic change in the next couple of decades, retirement is only gonna become more exclusive. I shouldn’t need to be lucky in life to not have to work until I die.

          Do not use your retirement to pay for injuries and disasters. These funds are protected by bankruptcy.

          Do not work against your own best interests out of principle. The world will fuck you, especially in America. Your principles will give you little comfort when you’re too old to work.
