Oh sweet summer child... There isn't going to be many elderly millennials. Most of us will die off from our fifth "once in a generation" financial crisis, WW3, or the collapse of the environment. Hopefully the younger generations use our bones to build a better society.
On top of the fact that you need to have saved money to pay to live in a retirement home.
Are... Are there people that sort of really hope to just go from their patents' basement to a retirement home?
Well if they bothered to submit those patents instead of leaving them in the basement then they might be able to live in a retirement home
How many of us are still in our parents' basements? I'm nearly 40, struggling through our 20s was one thing but by now...
I dunno. Depends on the acceptability of calling it a "multi - generational household" because Boomers locked up to much wealth and now have to live with the consequences.
I should change my name to "The Consequences" since I live with my boomer parents
Right?! I don't know any millennial whose retirement plan isn't just hitting a certain age and killing ourselves.
Knowing people, they'll use them to bash each other in the face, more likely...
A major problem is that the demographics for Millennial retirement are a lot worse than for Boomers. Boomers at least had a decent number of millennials to help support them in retirement.
Oh my God not this birthrate bullshit.
Birthrates aren't down by much globally. Just learn a language and don't be a piece of shit to the rest of the world.
Maybe rationalize labor practices and add some automation while you're at it.
What's really gonna stop us retiring is climate change
