The retirement trust fund runs dry in late 2032, triggering an automatic cut for current and future retirees. Every year Congress waits makes the fix bigger.

      Gen X here, my retirement will be ok barring a catastrophe. Retirement is still possible, but I’m nervous for my kids.

        I think people would love to retire at 42. You might just be a prick though.

          I’ve found most people who retire young tend to be for some weird reason. Instead of just being chill and relaxed like you would be expecting from someone with no need to stress at a shit job.

          Could just be a case of any time you meet someone who is retired young. You wouldn’t know it unless they told you. And only the assholes are the ones who tell you.
