Right! Fuck this video and the WEF slave state

I'm so glad to see most of the comments on this video of similar opinion to this. Not only is working till you drop a terrible life, but contrary to what capitalism wants us to believe it just isn't necessary.

This is my goal this year. I will be 46 and have saved since I was in my teens. I'm still working at something, but it is a passion rather than a corporate position.

I watched my friends buy big houses and fancy cars. We bought used cars, a smaller house and started saving. Once we got some money ahead, we started investing and buying with cash vs loans for a few things. I was able to retire at 57, TBH my wife made that possible by working and giving me insurance…but she was able to retire at 62, and we are so glad to have done that. They work you until you drop if you don’t plan ahead. Those friends I mentioned are still working, at least some… Oh, the reason we didn’t retire sooner is that we sent our 2 kids to college for 12 years and paid for it all. My daughter went to Vet school and that cost about $100k plus room and board. She and her brother entered the work force debt free. I’m glad we could do that for them.

Thank you for sharing this. I came to the same conclusion when I noticed multiple functions are getting roled into 1 position in my industry. I can't imagine how exhausting keeping up with industry process standards would be if I stay in my current industry for 10 or more yrs.

The good news is you never were exploited to begin with, so a quick and easy shift in perspective could make you feel like you're retired right now. We are built to produced good for others. It's the purpose of life. There's a reason people die right after they retire. Because we aren't built to live for ourselves only. People also die before their time because they are filled with negative emotions that disrupt the body systems and lead to disease. Get rid of this vile Marxist anti life rhetoric. Meditate on positive emotions. Learn to see the world glass half full. Relish the good you can bring to the lives of the people around you. Appreciate the level of quality in our lives that people didn't have even 50 years ago. Would you rather take a crap in an outhouse and pump water from a well? We got it good because of this economic system.

That's when you work for places where the employees have no work ethic. Find a better company to work for and don't be a lazy dude that stands around doing nothing but complaining. Like attracts like. If you don't want to work in a cesspool then don't be a cesspool worker.

@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 yeah okay rob

So true!

@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 here we have another capitalistic shill folks

​​@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 capitalism has no ethics and knows only one thing, maximizing profit at the behest of the capital and capitalists at the cost of everything, most expandable of all; human lives

If you want to rebuild your retirement by yourself, without the help of a partner, I will tell you it is near impossible. Even NewRetirement and co can’t do the job of an FA with expertise, a large following/client base and experience. Vet and hire one and begin to develop a rapport.

How can one get to interview advisors? And what questions should you ask?

Do some research. The demand for advisors have risen more now than it did in the 90’s. At least their importance in an economy such as this can’t be understated. There are a good bunch as well as a bad bunch.

You gotta do due diligence and use discretion. I work with monica mary strigle sh’s big timer in New York w/ over 600 m worth assets under management

Just research the name. You’ll find the necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

Literally the opposite of what she said

​@@Doss3332no it isn't

The meaning of life is service to others. Work is service to others. Work brings meaning because we do things there that improve the lives of others. No one should seek to "retire" from doing good for their fellow human, to the day we die. The day we do stop producing good is the day our soul dies.

@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 The people who want you to work until you die only serve the rich. The rich serve no one. They have no souls

@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 work is selling your soul to those who are unbelievably wealthy and making a penny to their pound

I hear ya. I'm 49. And probably have twenty years to go. Hopefully less.

That’s it; I’m 44.

I'm in my 40s too, and I look forward each day to producing good for others in my community and making their lives better because I was there. I look forward to improving the quality of the good I can bring into other's lives so by the time I'm in my 50s 60s 70s I'm going to be hitting my stride in maximum good produced. I have no college education. I don't make that much. Neither did the people that immigrated here who became very wealthy in time. Hard work = helping others = mo' money = better quality life. Do that math, y'all.

I completely agree. I am 43 and have worked full time since I was 16. I can't imagine doing this for another 27 years. So, I saved up some money ney and bought a home. It is a mobile home and it's old, but I now own my own home. This has drastically reduced my monthly expenses and will make it possible for me to retire. I can make my monthly bills on a fifteen to twenty hour a week job.

Retired at 50. Realized I dodged the bullet, because now I have Jesus.

so true!

I’m afraid you didn’t understand the message: her suggestion is that you use/develop a different ability to do something different, because obviously you cannot wield at 100° heat at 70.

And in a lot of ways this goes for office jobs too! I'm pretty sure I'll have carpel tunnel symdrome by the time i'm 40.

She's saying work doesn't set you free but that's just fine!

The idea isnt that you just start working in your 20's and go straight through to your 70's. She specifically said thats too difficult. The idea is you work in one area for a while then maybe go back to education for a while, swap fields, take time off and constantly evolve. You wont neccessarily have to organize your life into education, then work then retirement if you dont want to. Not saying I agree, it's just she wasn't making the point that we should work solid through to our 70's.

​@@lowhangingvegetable Exactly. OP has good points, and video did poor job explaining what we can do - @hobomick said it better than the prof. And I don't know what's right other than adaptability is key!

@@lowhangingvegetable I understand she isn't making that point. I still think that her whole point is a pipe dream. Many people don't have the time, interest, aptitude, money, or capabilities to do what she's suggesting. Suggesting someone do one job at 20, switch careers at 30/40/50/60 isn't realistic. People don't actually do that. It's something we see, but it's incredibly rare. The belief that this is just "necessary" keeps coming up, and I hear it everywhere, but numerous studies have shown it's not really happening and won't. What is actually happening is we're seeing people actually grind through a low paying job their whole life, always too poor to get out of it, and they retire or die living with chronic conditions caused by their manual labour job.

Working into old age works for people at higher levels, where they can derive a good deal of money, happiness, and no physical labor. For most people, work does not provide such great benefits. Redesigning work sounds wonderful, but this would only happen in an alternate US, one that has never existed, and will never exist in our lifetimes. The US economy has no concern for human welfare.

This woman is very big on marketing for the big corps. Not the first interview of her that I've watched.

💯

fully agree

So true!

I’m afraid you didn’t understand her message of tailoring your life to your needs: If you have three small kids, of course you cannot take a two-year break from work. Read her book “A hundred year life” and you’ll get the enormous wisdom of her full message.

Choose not to have three children. Have no children.

Should the two not be mutually compatible i.e., should one not strive to work themselves towards a career or at least at a job that allows the freedom to enjoy life with the people they love ? Asking to understand.

Agree. Worst, most myopic and deluded piece of content I have ever seen on what is otherwise a very good channel.

@@thabangletsoaloa lot of people can’t afford university to open up the door to opportunities that would make them happy, but also most people find a job that pays the bills and not something that fills their soul. Even if people love their job there are only so many hours left in a day to spend time with family and friends, plus vacation time can make it difficult to travel, relax, explore, and spend time with loved ones.

@@deezed6478 The first part of what you said makes sense however my viewpoint is not related to happiness in any part instead I was attempting to address the "time" aspect of the main comment. Day to day it might be difficult to have time to spend with loved ones however vacation time might be a chance to use to spend time with loves ones. Lastly, one definitely will not have time to do everything in life which is the unfortunate consequence of the finite lives we have. I would suggest that one makes peace with this, acknowledges that there is no time to do everything and only then chooses what they can do with their "free" time. No one has time to do everything.

@@thabangletsoalo Absolutely that should be the ideal situation. I can say from experience that currently trying to attend college and work to just barely survive is extremely difficult. It does not guarantee either that I will be able to obtain a better paying job once I'm done. The problem is the greed of the world taking from the poor without regard. I understand the principles of making a product in return for profit but the current level of inflation is very devastating to the lower income families of today. I also feel that is a major driver in the growing divide between rich and poor.

She's not retired. She's a professor doing the work she loves. Not a hard concept for anyone paying attention.

@@phranne1234 You can retire and still be a professor...

So you can retire and still work then. Hmmm. @@chillabrew_glycolinstall

"retire" just means you are collecting social security or 401k or Roth IRA. It doesn't necessarily mean you have stopped working or can stop working. And many people who don't need to work for money work for charities.

That is, if you plan to work as a labourer your entire life. That's not gonna happen. These jobs will be automated mostly in a very short time period. I think system admin jobs will be mostly present. People running machines remotely or surveying sites and occasionally manually recenter machines in case of errors. So my advice is to learn things the alpha generation will be good at. Technological intuitive jobs.

Do you believe this path is possible for everybody? Honest question

Absolutely not going to happen for most people

@@tylerjames7449 Definitely not, but available to many more people who don't realize it (in my limited sample size of the people I know - so definitely not valid for a general comment).

​@@tylerjames7449 Of course not. Merely speaking intellectually here, the average IQ in, for instance, the USA is 97. And yes, I know IQ is an inaccurate and incomplete measure of intelligence but I think we can safely say that 97 is not enough for a PhD, barring exceptions of course. Now because this is the average, naturally half of the population is below that. So that alone makes it so that the majority of people will not be able to attain a PhD even if the education was free. And as already alluded to in that last part, this isn't even taking into account the financial and temporal requirements to attain a PhD. So I think it's safe to say that it is impossible for the vast majority of any country. That is, unless some types of PhDs are easily obtained which I guess is possible, but I doubt it and it would be quite worthless if it was. Even "just" a college education will be unattainable for a lot of people If you're merely talking about whether going back to school for any sort of education is possible for everybody, that depends entirely on the type, cost, duration and difficulty of the education in question of course. I can imagine the answer varying dramatically depending on those factors

Are you able to scrabble together a living and cover your expenses with this? If so, bravo!!

When she introduced herself as a "professor of management practice at the London Business School and founder of HSM Advisory" my brain dismissed their opinions for the same reasons you have stated. I immediately thought, "here we go again, another 50+ year old business guru who wants to spin the narrative that everyone should just keep working forever". I'm sure this narrative goes over great at cocktail parties with all the other white collar business folks running spreadsheets and market projections to minimize salaries and maximize efficiencies for share holders, but it's a load of bull for anyone working a blue collar job who is often run down into the ground before they hit 45. People can't do warehouse work 30 years and come out the other end a spring chicken. There is no physio and late age health retreat that will cure a chronic spinal injury from hauling crap from A to B for 12 hour shifts 5-7 days a week. These business folks just don't frigging get it. They may want people to work longer, and I'm sure it looks great on their spreadsheets for the corporate entities they represent, but it's total hogwash in reality. As usual, the aspiring dreams of a desk-chair business analyst are once again completely out to lunch on the reality of the average working individual.

She literally talks about "working in the office" and later about "knowledge work".

@@scientistMUC79 There are not enough office jobs and knowledge work available for this. The aging population is real and seniors out number the youth in our population. There simply isn't enough of this work you speak of to go around. Also, it's harder than ever to skill up academically as the economy declines. How is someone who grew up poor, worked a warehouse their whole life, and then is tired, chronically injured, and old going to take that message? A corporation just exploited their body for profit for 30+ years and now you want them to somehow have the willpower and money to up skill and switch careers? This isn't going to happen. My friends are trying to do this before they get old. It is incredibly difficult to do so and also take care of your loved ones. No, this is once again just the elites spinning a narrative that exploits the poor and uneducated for more and more profit.

Plus…even without physical jobs. Everything deteriorates…muscle, bones, joints, skin, brain, etc. oh and the stigma of keeping older workers on the payroll when they can bring in cheaper labor.

I hate how the U.S. declared the pandemic over and companies require us to go back to work after only 5 days of covid infection. I'm still coughing and suffering from headaches, bodyaches, and tiredness. Let us rest. Please.

Yes, current pension is expensive lottery, why are tax payers obligated to play it? UBI should replace pension and cost no more than life insurance so that best strategy is to be sustainable enough to not need it ever, but still get it if unable to sustain.

Yeah this video just read like a propaganda way of telling young people that they will never have any job security, hopes of retirement, or even a comfortable death with family around them.

Wow Andrew Yang was on to something years later the masses are calling for UBI

That sounds like a biased sample size to me. Bcuz aren't the "healthy" 70 year olds ..... not..... at the hospital. I know numerous 70 yr olds doing quite well.

3, 70 year olds I know. ONe just had two surgeries in one eye, the other had a knee surgery last year and is due another as it is still not right and the other is dealing with cancer, he is 79. We'll be working till we are broken in her view. But a massive flaw with it. Robotics and AI will actually allow people to do other things and likely not need a labour force full of oldies. There will be a transition period but likely will go this way.

Not to mention that literally anyone who has ever worked with somebody over the age of 65 KNOWS that they are the least productive, most cringey co-workers in the company. Don't care who you are, if you're over 65, you are probably 50% less effective at your job than you were in your 30s and 40s. You don't realize it, and everyone around you is simply being polite about it so it is rarely if ever mentioned to you directly... But you do suck at your job now, and everyone is just waiting for the day you retire so they can get some fresh blood in your position.

That dream has been gone for at least two decades. With the cost of housing eating all disposable income, the cost of living so high that retirement is synonymous with poverty, and employers ever more reluctant to employee older, disabled or unwell people, we are f$&$d unless there is a cushion of inheritance, savings that haven't been ravaged by illness, divorce or another large life event, or some miraculous fortune like being a psycho crypto bro or a pro fortnite player. Most people are staring down 30-40 years of bare minimum financial support at the most vulnerable end of their lives.

​@@Dontstopbelievingman This is definitely the situation in my country right now, but I did not know it is actually the case for the whole world now.

Yep. That's what dramatically increasing wealth disparity within a society will do. It will only get worse, as more wealth is concentrated under(*) less and less people. If we do not stop it increasing further, we will end up with modern feudalism. And this is coming from someone who finds himself in the upper middle class and can still live comfortable without financial worry, at least for now. I worry for the future and what it will look like (*) I use "under" here because they are like the dragons of myth, sitting on top of their heaps of gold, spitting flames at anyone who dares to come too close, though apart from possessing it and sitting on it they're not actually doing anything with the vast majority of that gold

Amen to that brother

Got to love this retired lady telling others your gonna work longer then i did, in a world that changes every 5 years or before and yes AI is gonna f your more sideways 😅. Personally glad I'll inherit my fathers properties to rent out by then.

She is am urban corporative narrow minded thinker. While ignoring that the true creator of wealth is the labourer. I hope to a builder working until they are 70yo. The builders I see everyday in my practice have been worn by the decades of work by the age of 60.

@@spacemonkey9000lmao, my first thought also

America is the world's center for technological advancement which has made all our lives better so we can complain about better quality problems than even our parents were able to. Soon we will be colonizing space and vacationing on earth as life quality improves through the roof. All thanks to capitalism. No other economic system has made such leaps because they are incapable of it. I'd rather have the problems of working 40 hours a week producing value that will help 1000s in my community rather than living on a farm as a peasant under a lord that takes everything from my family so that those of us that survived common yet deadly illness can just starve to death.

I agree 100% with what you said.

Do you think that a well-planned retirement at 60/65 is possible for everybody, or even a majority of people? Honest question.

Maybe yes maybe no. It depends on their ability to earn enough $, plan and stick to the plan….and whether they have no major setbacks like health issues, etc. It is probably a major challenge for most people. @@tylerjames7449

We both went to college, got good paying jobs and sent our kids to college. They make good money and are savers like we were. Maybe they can retire early like we did at 57 and 62. Having said all that, we had built in advantages that I cannot defend nor deny. I was born a white male in the USA, not well off but I know my path was much easier than if I were of color, or born in another country that was not wealthy. Generational disadvantages IMO make a huge impact of how sections of society progress towards the ‘ dream’. All children need a family of some sort, and instruction with love. Not all can get that. I was blessed.

In China, the median age of retirement is 54.

This is such pessimistic and twisted view half of the world has. Everyone got a choice to work for themselves. You are also getting richer by working for them.

​@@vishadjain2477No, most of humanity is not working for themselves in any way at all. In order to be able to keep living, they spend their life to make a company get more profit.

But most have to do this just to stay alive. That is why I hate capitalism. You don't need to exchange your time for being able to live. You should have the right to live anyways!

your view is that of a person with no self respect or class consciousness. this lady would love for all people to work well into their old age, because when they work they make money for her company.

You won't do that anymore in the near future. Did you see there is a brick laying machine already being tested for production. Pretty amazing machine. The question is, can you find bricklayers, or is it easier to find a bricklaying machine administrator? As the lady said in video, every year, you will have to upskill and upgrade education. 3 stages of life is over. Everything is education. Instead of 6 kids, we maybe have 2. They will need to work and know for those 6 to close the gap just to keep lights running. Only way to do it is to master technology

Yeah brother, that's because academics are out of the real world for many years that they lose sense of reality..

Of course she is. I was a little confused on why she didn’t actually give a good reason on why we won’t retire on our 60s. It’s cause she is, but not normal people like us. There goes the WEF trying to push their “you will own nothing and be grateful for it” garbage “stakeholder” capitalism.

Also the “you will own nothing and be grateful for it” was talking about the rise of subscription services.

This is exactly the same thought I had. So easy for a person already financially set telling people that they can take a year off at 30 to travel the world. Who at that age is being paid enough to save enough money to do this and not worrying about having a job when they get back...

Work from home is a net benefit in the long run not just for the employers and employees, but also for the environment. Which is why our corporate leadership has welcomed the idea with open arms, paving the way for a better future.

Yes, this! Taxes must be justified by necessary services provided to tax payer, retirement investment must be optional. Beyond some small insurance that could guarantee food and shelter for poor-and-unable-to-work circumstances, why should pension tax be a requirement? There may be professions that people want to retire from, just like there may be professions people choose for life long or at retirement age. What's the point of sacrificing level of life at younger years for promise of better income after 70? Is comfortable life less needed before 70?

Probably because you can't live off of your retirement money for 40 years if your life expectancy is 100 years, for example.

@@Pclub4ever I disagree. With a decent amount of capital / savings you can withdraw 4% or less and virtually not run out of money ever. Want to play safe? Get enough to only live on 2% per year.

@@adrianbn You're extremely delusional. You'd need about a minimum of 2,000,000 dollars for that to be true. $2,000,000 * 4% = $80,000.

Wouldn't hurt if youtube 'creators' would take into consideration that because there are SO MANY videos on youtube, being CONCISE & TO THE POINT up front, might help increase their chances that someone will 'watch their videos until the END'. Just my 'professional' thoughts. :) @@deeply3739

The second you can retire and do stop working is the second the clock starts ticking to your untimely death. We aren't built to do nothing or to just focus on self. We are built to do good to better other people's lives. The moment we stop doing that is the moment our bodies start shutting down because we evolutionarily have fulfilled our purpose in life and are no longer needed. Don't die, dude.

@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 retiring and doing nothing are not the same. With the time not spent working at a job, I can pursue hobbies I didn't have space for. None of my jobs have ever been fulfilling. They are merely a means to an end.

Every job is as fulfilling as you perceive it to be. I worked as a dish washer at one job and loved it. Everyone around me was miserable. It was the same job. The difference was their perspective. I saw the good I was producing for my community. And when I went to another restaurant to eat so I didn't have to cook at home I appreciated the good that they all were producing for me. We are all scratching each other's backs. That's why we're making money. But we have to mentally recognize that fact or we will be miserable. And it's not the job's fault and it's not capitalism's fault, it's our fault for not taking responsibility for our thoughts. And we can do our hobbies now if we get our mind right and stop being negative about life. If we are negative now we will be negative when we retire and hate it all and then we'll die because the negativity will overwhelm our body and shut our systems down with disease. Improving the lives of others is a GOOD thing not a bad thing.

Yep! They're trying to brainwash us into thinking late retirement is a necessity, especially in countries with low birthrates. Someone's got to make the rich richer.

You seem to be so kind and so misguided at the same time, my heart and love goes out to you. Please believe me when I say this, and I will go to my grave believing it. Nationalism and economics are (or at least, have become) a cancer on Humanity@@my.names.robb.with.two.bs1 Down with capital.

That's bad for the profits the already wealthy own. Get back to work

"brand new opportunities" is code for "more work." That's what retirement is about. You stop HAVING to work so then you can work in your area of choice because you WANT to. Improving people's lives is the meaning of life. We should seek to do it to the day we die.

Just tap into your family trust like her you plebes

Yea, and who has the energy to float in and out of careers, and to navigate all the uncertainty that goes along with it?

Right, it is like economic-worshipping folks are so stumped as to how to spend their free-time that existence without a vocation is suffering. Why would one ever think that a person who is incapable of enjoying life without being told what to do is in a position to share any sort of "wisdom"? Work does not set you free, information does. Work just gives you the tools of self-diminishment and money, two incredibly useful tools to survive this dystopian hellhole. Economics is an ideology masquerading as a science." -Herman Daly, senior economist for the World Bank

OK, sounds interesting. Where is the plan? The professor resides in London so it will not work for Americans. Our medical insurance tight up with the job. Part-time means no medical benefits.

So who's gonna pay for your retirement then?

How can you enjoy life if you do nothing to better the lives of those around you. That's literally the purpose of work, to produce value for others that will benefit their lives. After we have served others then we can properly enjoy the joys of entertainment and recreation and socializing and hobbies. Without serving others we are adrift at sea and will find ourselves questioning why life feels so meaningless.

What if the meaning of work has been replaced? What if there is technology being held back to consolidate power, wealth and energy generation capabilities? What if the social democracies of the world and plans to nationalize many industries around the world came under violent attack from those who directly stand to benefit from strengthening the pillars of capitalism? What if we lived in artificial scarcity? What is homelessness and child poverty are avoidable, but we suffer through it so we can tell ourselves stories about how amazing we are because we contribute to the community?

Right? Lol

100%! Her whole idea is repackaged hustle culture. “Burn yourself out, so you can take time to ‘recharge’ for your next unnecessary stint supporting some other billionaire.” And by the way work longer so you can support my generations retirement. Forget the promises we made to you.. The underlying narcissism is too much.

There is a balance. Save some play some. My dad said once you hit 50 you really start to think about retirement.

democratize the enterprise

It's like "school," "education," or even the general idea of "learning" - alongside the myriad activities under the umbrella of the term "work." Sadly, we're★ conditioned by our experiences to assume a state of trepidation and aversion to everything within those categories. Everything new or unfamiliar, if it's "work" or "school" or "educational," far too many of us default to an adversarial sort of position, like a "how can I get out of having to do this" or "well, there go my chances of doing anything enjoyable with this time." It's understandable, reasonable - rational, even - given the wretched representations we get of gainful employment and formal scholastic education. We see ourselves as part of this or that bunch of people, expending endless quantities of time and effort on things that, increasingly clearly, are either pointless (years wasted memorizing trivia instead of learning useful life skills , self-defeating (rules from Corporate HQ, enacted by some clueless absentee exec), or simply in service of enriching some unethical or corrupt individuals (working in a gov't agency, ostensibly enforcing laws that the wealthiest corporations see no repurcussions for utterly ignoring, as the violations are so profitable as to effectively bribe their way completely around the whole arrangement of checks and balances. Heck, after you boil it all down, it seems like nearly _all_ the stuff we do is just running in some hamster wheel, occupying our time and keeping focus away from the criminals play-acting as upstanding heads of state, business, and culture. Just allowing, or worse, _assisting_ the perpetuation of some scheme or some loophole, devised or exploited by people who have figured out that merely shame, reputation, and social pressures may be the only guardrails keeping someone without scruples from exploiting the countless regular, hard-working, play-by-the-rules folks, with their ambitions and goals, and with their families to house and feed (and ideally spend some of life with). We ought to be able, be allowed - be _encouraged_ to learn what we feel good about doing with our time and energy. The better to find ourselves employment in positions that fulfill our deep need to believe we've accomplished something tangible and meaningful with our time and labor, as we look back at the previous week, and when we look back over our quick little lives here. So when "work" sucks so bad, of course we want to get out of there ASAP, and stay out forever after. If, instead, we could each do a low-key version of what we constantly see celebrities doing with their lives, _consistently,_ we wouldworking," in music or movies or whatever, *until the point after which they literally cannot continue.* This is not to say that they don't work, or work hard... it's just obviously so much more enjoyable and so much more fulfilling than fields of "real" work, where absolutely no one would ever find it worthwhile to stay any longer than absolutely necessary. We ought to be able to contribute to society - i.e. to _each other_ - through doing something that doesn't sap our will to live, but fulfills us, and leaves us _at worst_ with the knowledge that we accomplished something. Instead of how it _is,_ where we *know* we're being worked into sickness and death, labored into undue suffering, unfulfilling lives, and our own early graves. And we can *see* the spaceship-level wealthy individuals hoarding their proceeds from making each and every _other_ individual life worse, pulling some part of their heaped trillions from the pockets and paychecks of each and every one of us. But as it stands, we're simply kept too exhausted, from desperately trying to get above water and survive. So beaten down and exploited, we dream not of adventures and of fantastical future worlds, but we straight-up _fantasize_ about merely not being quite so saturated as we are with the constant, underlying worry, fear and dread, baked into us, from whole _lives_ lived without knowing financial security - aka *any* security. We see it; but we can't stop running on panic adrenaline for more than roughly one consecutive day, without serious risk of ending up in circumstances such that the roof over our heads also has an engine and wheels... ★"we" in the U.S., I mean

This is my goal. I’ll probably not work for a year or two, but will look for a position like this afterwards. My co-worker is retired, but he comes in part time to have something to fill his days, socialize and keep his mind sharp.

Most human welfare stats have declined during the neoliberal era (mid 70s) in the US.

Note that was across all age groups and included many younger deaths, including suicides and overdoses which are up. But for those who were already in their 60s, expected lifespans increased.

Crunch104 - I think you are being too conservative, it's not that "some" of us are barely getting by, it's "MOST" of us are barely getting by.

Not even just that, but she's advocating for building the life you want where you can take a year off and travel the world or go down to part time or freelance to re-prioritize. And that's great in theory, but if you're living paycheck to paycheck, how do you take that year off? How do you go down to part time when that means not being able to cover your rent? Like yea, if everyone had the same opportunity to do that, then absolutely. But telling people who can't do that, that working until you're 70+ is a good thing actually, is just not it.

100%. I would even argue millionaires up to a point. Every single job needs to pay the bills and have a bit left over… and that goes for the entire world… the “first world” needs to wake up and realize how their hoarding negatively affects the rest of the world… we’re living good bc somebody somewhere else is living bad

Perfect! Absolutely agreed!

Commies not understanding that wealth isn’t a zero-sum game.

@@tylerjames7449 ​Thank you so much for saying this. Honestly close to tears. My entire life, have been trying to get people to understand this and all it has gotten me is insults and condemnation. Thank you Father, please let everyone wake up to our Human family. Why does everyone desire to be rich when the implication is that others will be poor in comparison. We should all desire an equitable society. Thank you so much, seeing a stranger express this is actually really affecting me. Thank you.

Spot on!

Bingo.

Indeed. We retired mid fifties with no money concerns. Our adult children are saving agressivelty to do the same or even retire earlier. Can be done, but it takes focus/dedication.

Good point

It's not the disagreement, it is the quality of the argument being made. Could have made the argument that working well past retirement age means you will spend more time at the height of your earning power (supposing you don't get fired), allowing more slack in your early years to try new things. Instead we get guru talk divorced from the reality of most working people.

This ghoulish brit hasn't noticed that life expectancy is going *down* in the U.K and U.S thanks to the very system she treats as some immutable law of nature(capitalism).

You can live longer by just changing your diet. Adapt a more species-appropriate diet, and you are doing most of the stuff right.

I don't understand people who say they went back to work after retiring because they were "bored". How hard is it to find a hobby?

@@ForAnAngel hobbies didn't work for me, my time was filled up with hobbies as well as the day to day things we all need to do, but after a while my regular hobbies got boring and new ones I took up didn't hold much interest. i'm not saying we should all work into our seventies, but we should have the freedom to choose

Exactly. Trying to reinvent your life every 5 to 10 years requires tremendous cognitive skills and will power, and there is also the risk to fail chosing the right path for you and taking a few precious years to find out that you made a mistake.

@@juliocesarsalazargarcia6872 spot on!

It's insanely difficult. It not only takes courage, but it takes time and skill to make those decisions. And you have to do so with a maybe 40 hour work week.

It’s obvious that digital currency (crypto investment) has taken over the world and also stock markets.. Come to think of it … You work for 45yrs to have $400,000 in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $5k in an investment company for just few weeks and now they are multimillionaires after some period of months, all thanks to Mrs Eleanor Nelson for helping I and my family

*I'm from Florida 🇺🇸, how can I get in touch with Mrs Eleanor nelson Barnes ?*

Am new to this investment, how can I contact her?

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for I will message her right away I want to invest ❤️‍🔥many friends makes lots through brokers

I am from Denver Colorado USA I connected with her and she has helped me a lot,she makes so much profit for me she is a FINRA agent, the best I can invest with so far ever since I came across expert Eleanor Barnes, my bad turned out being good and profitable. She's made success earlier than we thought.

Retired at 57 and best thing ever. Make sure to eat right and workout.

Unfortunately it will never happen bc the powers that be will claim the vast majority of the wealth created by those advancements

THIS! I would happily dip out of my current career if I could afford it. But I like having a house and a car. I work in a low-paying field. I can save, but not enough to just up and quit for awhile.

Your parents are rich and you have no children

Ya can you imagine if everyone stayed single? We’d be rich and society would cease to exist in one generation

Yea, it’s impossible for the vast majority of humans, especially with how wealth is currently distributed

Good luck, but make sure to prepare for circumstances that may change your plans.

FIRE. then you can work on the things you enjoy because you like it, not the things you have to do because it's required. Nothing like more work to get the blood pumping. And you will do your hobbies on the side the whole time.

It seems they want people to work endlessly like machines but we're not machines we too have emotions and empathy to take the right decision for us.

@@githvfyzhub working 40 hours a week is not working endlessly. And if you work more than that you get overtime pay which is great. Enjoy it while you got it because next thing you know you'll be laid off due to lack of work and searching for a new job.
