    Yeah, I had to empty my 401k to be able to just keep renting and I’ve decided that it’s probably not worth paying towards anymore since by the time I would retire they likely would tell me I need at least 8 times whatever I could afford to put in so I’ll just plan for death as my retirement like Boeing would want.

      Pretty much. I’m very much resigned to the fact that I’ll be working well after the standard retirement age and will likely die at work, with nothing but debt to pass on to… nobody because I can’t afford to have children.

        Boeing actually found the longer you work the shorter you live so good news you won’t work past retirement you will work until you die and then retirement age won’t exist. It will be a myth from the past.
