You’re right. Retirement is a term used as a carrot at the end of stick. You’ll never get it, or it will be stale when you finally catch it. I don’t know that many happy retired people. Sure they got off the rat wheel, but at what cost? An entire life spend on making billionaires richer. Fuck that.

Forget about retirement. Instead, I suggest focusing and actively working on making life worth living before getting too old. Demand better working conditions if work is what’s making life miserable.
