That’s the thing with the bourgeois mind, enough is never enough. The number can always get higher. You can always control and own more. There’s always someone richer than you to aspire to. Money is virtue, so there’s always more virtue to be obtained
You can tell if someone has a prole soul or not by asking what they would do if they won the lottery or got an extremely high paying job. They will say they would give it to their loved ones, retire early or party until it’s gone.
If someone says they will use it as startup capital to get passive income and rent, you found yourself a bourgeois
Yeah I have no idea why these people want to work forever. I just want to power through it, amass as much capital as needed to not work as soon as possible.
Yeah unfortunately our system of social security, Medicare/Medicaid, 401ks and pensions basically hold you hostage and force you to work to a certain age - even if you otherwise have saved up a nice nest egg for yourself. The retirement investment firms have your money and they won’t let it go until you reach a certain arbitrary age they set
I assume Obamacare subsidies are based on some number of years' prior tax returns? Otherwise once your income is nil or close to nil you could just make use of that?
That's how I've spent the last 2 years. Dirt cheap mortgage thanks to COVID, low kWh cost from nuclear plant, 70$ fiber optic, 2 jobs, steal all food ... I've just turned 28 recently and if I play my cards right and hyperinflation doesn't occur, I might be able to retire in about 2 years.
Closer to $25,000
I can’t even fathom how one can spend $250k per year

Yeah this part of the US system fucking sucks.

You need between 2 and 4 million dollars to retire right now. God knows what you'll need in 20 or 40 years.
Have kids with expensive health problems.
If I had those on my current income I guess they would die :shrug-outta-hecks:
