You might not even make it to retirement age.

I hope I never reach that - can't afford to be alive then.

Same. And I'm 69. Got a few good working years left, then....

What is the average retirement age in your area?

[-] Izzgo@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Average? I'm not sure. Expected is 65 though. I'm in US, and collecting my meager social security benefits. Recently reduced my work week to 40-45 most weeks

You work that much of hours a week? Oh my.. still with your age? It's a shame. I hope that soon things will work out for you and a nice and deserved retirement waiting. Thumbs pressed!

Kind of you thanks :) Actually my health remains solid and I enjoy my work, so it's not so bad.

How's your 401k looking? I checked mine recently and there wasn't Jack shit in it.

It was like opening a box of disillusionment.

[-] Izzgo@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

401k? I heard about those.....

I'm hoping suicide booths are a thing by the time I retire, something like in Futurama. I'll just blow all my savings on a yearlong worldwide cruise or something and then call it a life. The other option is moving to a 2nd world country with universal healthcare to make it stretch, the first option sounds more fun though to be honest.
