When I was young, I was poor but after decades of hard work, I’m not young anymore
4 more months and I can quit one of my part time jobs.

Bold of you to assume you get to retire, and social security will exist by that time!

Retirement is nothing but a fantasy. I own a home and the only way I can think of Retirement is if I sell it, then what though??? Live under an overpass slamming heroin every night just to stay warm?? I won’t rule it out but still

They got those year long cruises you could get on and slam heroin in your room.

Never too young to di-g up an old firearm and locate the nearest-mental health facility! Oh, they gutted those? Shoot the rich!

Easy, live in a civilised country, get yourself a !chronicillness@lemmy.world and you can retire early. And on top of that you get the fun of !chronicpain@lemmy.world and being a burden on your whole family.

Retirement is for privileged boomers.
We will work until we die unless we figure out how to get taxes from billionaires and generational wealth holders to establish a universal basic income.

Taxing billionaires will not solve the problem of the lower class impoverishment of the system it goes to remains bloated and wasteful. How much of an average workers’ dollar gets taxed? It’s really quite astounding

The point is not the taxes, it’s the UBI. The wealth taxes are just how you pay for it.
You also need to ensure certain consumer protections, especially in real estate markets, in order to make UBI work well, but let’s start there.
