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.
Hopefully the younger generations use our bones to build a better society.
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
It’s extremely unlikely that social security will still exist by the time we’re old enough to retire, so retirement will be yet another thing reserved for the rich.
Unless you live in a civilized country (not the US) in which case enjoy your retirement you lucky bastard.
I just hope that the current crisis in the US is a hallmark of the downfall of American capitalism and that the status quo can change long term. Remains to be seen if that’d be good or bad, though.
Retirement?
Well, hopefully those wealthy millennials will enjoy their distractions, homes, and retirement while the rest of us are dropped into the industrial grinders they use to reclaim the nutrients from our bodies.
Come on now, you’re making soylent green sound so industrial and devoid of feeling.
It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks, and become one with all the people.
Chairman Sheng-ji Yang
They will!
Boomers are starting to become homeless. Their kids the millennials will have it worse, as most millennials can’t afford a starter home. Retirement will look like homelessness for many of them.
And again everyone forgot about GenX, just the way we like it 😆
“Meh.”
My Gen Z cousin had zero respect for me til they PvP’d me on an old-school Street Fighter arcade machine.
I’ll be listening to Nirvana and playing Symphony of the Night in my room. You’re welcome to come down the hall to hang out any time.
Maybe The Elder Scrolls 7 or Grand Theft Auto 7 will be out by the time I retire. Probably not. Weird that both those games have their 6th installments coming out next.
Nah, screw the office. Make it scrubs instead.
I thought about this, but arthritis is a thing sadly. It’s probably fine for non action games, but forget about playing smash
The older I get (40’s now), the more I think about how I probably won’t be able to fully enjoy video games like I thought i would. My vision which was always perfect is starting to show issues already, whenever I pick up a game I almost always nod off or fall asleep within an hour or 2 and almost nothing prevents it. My hands will sometimes lose sensation and I have to drop my hand down and stretch it to regain feeling… I feel like I’ll be like that guy in the twilight zone who outlived everyone and was finally able to read all the books he ever wanted but then immediately stepped on his glasses.
Fine, hearts of iron; all the survivors will be weird esoteric fascists by then anyway.
Now you mention it, I would like to die taking some fascists with me, rather than from some suck ass old age pathology. Now I have way too much to loose, but in my old age, I’m going to be dead anyways, so why not. Maybe we see a rise in Luigis
Don’t forget about the commune of trans girls who will also weirdly be into Hearts of Iron and Warhammer 40k
The elderly millenial trans women will be weird esoteric fascists too, but most will have actually read theory and been outside, so orsers of magnitude weirder
Millennials last ‘fuck you’ by the universe - longevity.
Nindendo games? Ew. I was thinking dungeons and dragons
And for young people Super Smash Bros Melee will be as cool as bingo or canasta
The Office
The original or the USA copy though?
Apparently there are 13 different adaptations. I kinda like the Australian one.
Oh, I was only aware of the two. I’ll have to change my shitty joke.
Retirement home raves, here we come
I think you mean retirement LANs. I’m going to party like it’s 1999.
Yes! Diablo for everyone!
I’ll bring the glow sticks!
Yeah i am stoked to be dropping tabs and listening to MGMT when i am 70
And die from an aneurysm because you have been sitting all week.
