In another screenshot I once read "my retirement plan is to die in the socialist revolution" and I think that's exactly what I hope for
That's been my plan for years, but now it's morphed into something more like, "my retirement plan is to die in the American underground fighting the local Nazis."
I'm 55, and this is my retirement plan.
I plan to die fighting for the revolution.
Don’t worry. They gonna raise the retirement age.
I wouldn't say it's my plan, but it's an option I'm keeping in account
65? 65?!? My expected retirement age is 7-goddamn-2 and considering that's in the 2050s shit could happen to that plan in the meantime....
Mine is more “I don’t plan to live that long anyway”
Civilization is resilient
It wont end just because of a couple problems that could kill billions of people
Got plenty in my retirement pot, but I've been saving up bottle caps just in case.
So it's people like you who's caps we'll mysteriously find inside of a pre-war safe??

Narrator: It didn't.
The retweeters went on to live in an even more dystopian future where money still exists, but with no savings to endure a strike.
My retirement plan is similar but it's more that Climate Crisis is going to cook us all alive before I need to retire.
The best advice I heard in my 20s don't spend your raise. If you can live of X and now you make Y, still live of X and put everything you don't spend in a few ETFs. Don't try to be smart en beat the market, don't buy stocks, etc.
Just 3 or 4 ETFs that cover the world. Or if you want to be smart read up on the permanent portfolio or all weather portfolio.
You don't need a more expensive car if your current car still works, you don't need a new phone every 2 years, etc. Buy what can't be fixed, don't pay for upgrades that are not really going to improve your life.
Also buy things that don't expire (toiletpaper, dishwasher soap, etc) in bulk when the offer it really good.
You don't have to live as a bum but you can still make sure you don't overspend.

I've been hoping for that big EMP from the sun I keep getting told about.
Or the poles swapping.
My retirement plan is to suicide bomb some government structure.
Societal collapse or probable future health issues, either way (or both)
well.. certainly not in so many words. but I definitely don't expect to get that old.
I'll look pretty dumb if it should happen.

Money can always be made worthless, so the key to post depression bubble economics will be commodities and the ability to earn an income.
The true hope is a horizontal power structure.
When we met with a financial advisor to interview her to find out if we wanted to work with her, I told her that I'm doing this because I know it's the right thing to do, not because I think we have any future.
that just sounds like bad financial discipline with extra steps
So your saying your well on your way then..
