The meaning of life is listening to groovy basslines on the way to and from work. And hugging your loved ones.
Don’t let anything distract you from that.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is, in fact, the objective truth.
It’s not that bad. You’re generally not aware of what you’re doing for the first 10 years. Then study for the next 10. Then, if you work to live and not live to work, you might get something out of life. Anything post work, I kinda see as a bonus, not a goal. Predisposed medical conditions may mean you aren’t seeing those years anyway. Actually… it may be that bad lol.
Just don’t take it that seriously. Live till you die.Yeah, you may just get a fatal genetic disease at 8 years old
Suicide until you’re reincarnated in billionaire family.
You incarnate into a rich family just in time for global economic collapse because of the actions of your family.
This assumes retirement will exist for most people.
300 years ago:
Probably die
Work
Die
Reminds me of that David Bowie lyric…“We live for just these 20 years, do we have to die for 50 more?”.
The mean-ing of life :
-
- get fun of your teachers with your fellow
-
- get fun of your boss with your ,oworkers
-
And they are trying to take away the 3rd one, because without that you won’t need things like retirement savings, so they can just take all of that away from you.
I’m telling you guys - life in USSR was much much better than this shit we live in now.
I really hope this is a joke, mate…
If not: no, no it wasn’t. Unless by “USSR” you mean “Petersburg, Moscow, and their immediate surroundings”.
0-10 years.
You can die during the first 60 at any time, never making it.
Or never retire due to circumstances outside your control in your working years
40+ years is a long time for shit to go wrong
i think about this when looking at the deduction % on my paystub i chose for retirement savings i may never use
At least it will give your children or siblings something to fight over when you die.
only 1 child, so he has it easy, unless i remarry, then it may get spicy
Die before retirement? Well that’s one way to escape wage slavery 😄
I’ve watched multiple co-workers not make it to retirement.
Really makes you want to keep doing it.
All the people I know that died did so once they were retired. No thanks, I’m never quitting the work force. You know how many people I know that died from drinking and driving? Zero.
“Free”
Both my parents retired. Are they living it up? Are they checking things off their bucket lists? Nope. They’re having emergency surgeries, planned surgeries, going to the doctor all the time, taking a regiment of pills or they die, and hanging around the house because they’re old and their mobillity isn’t great.
A just reward after a lifetime of work.
It’s a scam, friends. You’re going to work until you’re dead or until it doesn’t really matter anymore whether you’re dead or not.
I used to get downvoted to shit for saying things like this, but enjoy and use your youth.
No matter how you treat your body, you do not know what will happen to it. You may be athletic, rarely ill, an extremely healthy eater. You can still end up with a genetic condition you didn’t know about, with a cancer you never fully recover from, losing all of your limbs, losing your bowels or bladder. Dying. All kinds of things.
All of this can happen at any time in your life. Any time. You are not safe from bodily ailment just because you are young and apparently healthy.
Even if nothing happens until you are old and decrepit like a healthy person ought to be, you will still have lost the best years of your life.
Hey, I’m ~40 and this is that I do, too! Plus work.
Same. And take care of aging parents. And kids.
This framework fails to consider all the time between those main activities, which we spend shitposting.
Don’t forget sleeping and drinking.
Which we do in order to make the working hours bearable.
40 years? Try 50+
I started working at 14-15, and I’ll be happy if I can retire at 65
I’m expecting 13-73.
