  • It’s the unlucky part that terrifies me… i have seen people get old and forget everything, some of them family members, my grandfather lived to be 88 and his last days were spent having parts of his body just dying of and having to be cut off and then came slow painful organ failures, they were pumping him with so much morphine that he was just hallucinating and if i’m lucky i’ll go to sleep and my heart will just stop (low chance on my mother’s side) apparently it’s heart murmur type of thing but hasn’t shown itself yet, genetics are a bitch, also working till we die is kinda the direction the world is going towards so there might not be a point to plan for retirement either way.


  • Talked to my wife a few days ago about this and made her sad with it but she could understand why i feel this way, i said i don’t want to live a long life, 50 is enough (about to be 38 btw) and if i manage to live to be 60 i’m going for assisted suicide, like why the fuck would i want to live long enough just to become someone’s burden and there’s really no point in “looking forward to retirement” because a) i’ll be too old to enjoy anything, if i am properly mobile by that point considering my job does involve heavy lifting and b) while i am earning “decent” money for the fact that my education has no relation to my current job, this money does absolutely fuck all for retirement and will get me about 1000-1500€ per month and that’s if the threshold doesn’t go any higher, investments are mainly risks that mostly don’t pan out and the time when there were investment opportunities i didn’t have money to do anything, so i’m just choosing death.

















  • Fear mongering? Are you serious? Here’s a news flash there are a lot of retiree’s in Germany doing dumpster diving and collecting bottles to make ends meet and that bastard Merz was talking how he wants to have them pay taxes for that as well or having to go to the Tafel to survive the month and then Merz arrogantly said Germany is in a decline because the retiree’s are LAZY and they are the ones that mostly voted for him. If you want to convince yourself into believing that THEY are working “just as hard” as the rest of us and then worry about paying all the monthly expenses and feed our families is the same then you are the one that’s deluded.
