    Remember that boomers could do this on a shoe salesman or gas station clerk salary but they blame us buying avocado toast for the difference.

      I guess that saying I hear from boomers is true, “Weak men make hard times.” They never seem to realize they are the weak men in charge that are making the hard times.

      Saw a co-worker eating avocado toast. I asked him…“is that avocado toast?”

      Yes said yes.

      I said, “You’re the man!”

      His face was so comical. Like he was offended and thought I was being sarcastic. I personally love avocados. They are great with breakfast and with eggs.

    My retirement plan is to die fighting in the revolution against the US government and the oligarchs. I have no expectation of surviving, but I will stand and fight regardless.

    I already gave up that hope.

    I live in someone’s garage and my “retirement plan” is a shotgun sandwich.

        It is somewhat difficult to source N2 that hasn’t been adulterated as a consumer now. They do the same thing with He2. I’m with shotgun sammich dude. My retirement plan definitely involves my mouth watering for bullets.

    Owning a home guarantees nothing in terms of retirement. Best case scenario you sell with a decent profit, then it’s still going to the hospital or old folks home instead of your heirs.
