  • Depends a lot on where you are. My grandmother gets 2€ for every euro they put into their pension payment. I get 0.85 for every euro, and I get that in 40 years. I am talking here about the national pension system, if I could avoid paying into it I would, as the only worse investment I can think of is buying a car. Or perhaps NFTs

    I am fortunate, as I have had a decent career. Still I must assume that the only way I can retire is have some savings and live outside the city. And even that’s assuming the whole system doesn’t collapse before I retire.

    A cafeteria worker at the local pool told me and my friends when we were 13 to enjoy how much money we have now, as it’ll get worse as adults.

    I was horrified, as we had saved for a month to afford entrance to a pool amd some candy. I was convinced being an adult would suck.

    Thankfully she was wrong about the money and being am adult has it’s moments.
