You need a balance.
Why save all this money, when you can die tommorrow? And all that staying at home saving money for years you’ll look back & see all you did was “save”.
Not to mention inflation means your balance won’t even amount to much anymore.
So YOLO

Anyone who thinks retirement is anything but a pipe dream for workers is fooling themselves. Pensions and retirement funds are lost profit in the eyes of mega-corporations. In this day and age, every penny must be ingested into the coffers of investor groups and billionaires.
The unholy marriage of big business and government will see to it that the upcoming generations will die in their cubicles.

That is partially true, but it is also true that, it’s because school is too expensive. Wages are stagnant and rent and housing is too fukking high. Also spending on experiences is way better than spending on material stuff like clothes, shoes, and expensive bags.
I say this and I have tons of savings a retirement account and I’m debt-free. I had to cut my expenses severely. I paid $700 for rent in St. Louis. Even when I had a lot of money as a doctor I still lived as if I made 50 K and I still do that today.

My first job (working at Popeyes) I was 17 years old. I saved half of every paycheck. In two years I had 19 bands.
gonna be a lot of gen z'ers dying on the job of old age 
You can never be so arrogant to think you are going to live a long life. Enjoy life while you can. Just look at the coli how many posters our comrades that were our age or even younger passed away. We might make it to 100, we might not even make it till 50.
But it's really because life is crazy expensive now. Wages are low and rejt has never been so high. Buying a house insane interest rates.

A lot of these people are going to "opt out" long before that.
Yup. I ignored all the excuses and dumb nikka babble in this thread. Anyone who thinks ppl who prioritize fun over their future is going to turn out to be anything other than a 50 year old working jobs meant for teenagers is a damn idiotgonna be a lot of gen z'ers dying on the job of old age
life is about balance.
Enjoy it like you may die tommorrow. You might.
Save like you might live to see a 100. You might.
Youll regret not buying the Benz, taking the trip to Paris, proposing to the girl, etc if you know you're going to die Tuesday.
You also regret not saving and being 78 and having to eat cat food as a result.
