I have limited costly vacation excursions--trips to Japan, New Zealand and Peru were made without dipping into savings. I don't mind buying clothes from thrift stores or resale shops--that is a philosophical decision based on the waste, extravagance and other-directedness I see. I am aware that there are young people who would say that my life is not a life worth living, completely unsatisfactory. My point is: there are possible decisions.

I was born in 1959 in Australia. From the time when I was a child I knew I wanted to retire at 40. I started work as an office clerk at 16 and studied at night to be an accountant. I was a tightarse. I wouldn't spend money on anything that wasn't absolutely necessary. All my savings went into buying a block of land and I did this at 19. My father and I with the help of contractors who I paid ( other than my father's time, nothing was free ) built my house. I still live in this house. I paid off the house when I was 25. Every cent I earned wasn't wasted but went into the mortgage. I worked full time at a job I hated but then retired from full time work at 36 to travel the world with my wife. This is something we had both put on the Backburner up to then. I've never owned a fancy car until now. I still travel domestically and abroad with my wife, I'm now 65 nearly 66.

Save in Bitcoin. Very few people alive today know the power of hard money. If you think Bitcoin is too expensive then know you can invest as little as $1. 1500 Sats = $1. Govt hates it because they can't touch it. Most exchanges support the Lightning network and the transfer fees are close to nothing. Keep the Bitcoin in your own wallet. The cost of everything falls against Bitcoin. Bitcoin represents freedom and hope. By the way, I am 75 and all my savings are in Bitcoin. My costs keep falling year after year. It's amazing.

Focus on retirement and reduce your expenditures on luxuries. Pay cash for a dependable vehicle and pay off your debts. Eat healthily. Then coast into retirement. Learn to enjoy home life.

[@1Celticlife]

I am retired. However, I don't think it will be far harder for my children. I think the biggest thing is no mortgage on a home (and renting costs are now massive), enough money to cover health costs/insurance for 30 years included (my largest cost in the US is insurance); and a simpler life. Bjorn's other advice makes good sense. If you have a way to make a bit of extra money that's a great thing.

[@dmtaboo_truth7052]

I'm semi-retired at 38 because I've known for a long time that there's no future for us. So I intend to enjoy what time we have left and not spend it slaving away.

Similar story for me. As a general principle, I'd say to people to invest rather than save, as savings lose value due to inflation.

I retired in 2016 at 55 with a full pension same job 32 years and had $750K in my 401K. The 4 years Trump was in office it turned into $1.2 Million, and I started SS at 62 and bought an annuity that pays $2,000. a month and take Distibution's from my roll over 401K for $8,000. a month after taxes. House paid off and have no debt and still have over a million in the roll over. I started planning in 1985.

[@thebimblewizard1242]

Fuckin right I can, just turned 55. I'm one of the few who busted my ass over the last 35 year. Sadly not everyone is that fortunate.

[@enigmathegrayman2953]

As it stands I’m positioning for retirement with 24 years of service, a maximum 30 years of service benefits payout of 75 percent of work income for life. Benefits can begin (retirement) at age 50 and I’m 48, so I can retire at 50 or wait and get the maximum payout at 53. I really want to get out of the city I currently live in as it’s made world wide news with migrants taking over apartment complexes, so maybe retire sooner rather than later…..

[@MargaretGSmith-c1q]

The migrants aren’t so lucky where my partner and I live. I won’t disclose my location, but you better believe, they are sitting around the corner with their signs panhandling. Yes, they have shelter at night at the local homeless shelters, but have to leave by 8:00 a.m. They get minimum help, but no hotel accommodations. They’re treated like the local homeless. Some of the big cities in the US are treating migrants better than their own citizens.

In Britain, the wages are too low to even contemplate taking on a job. Jobs cost money to maintain, lots of money. I gave up working in 2007 on the realisation that I was never going to be paid properly for what I do. Britain has the lowest pensions in the civilised world, and every day is a struggle with the world's highest prices for everything. I regularly tell people to stop working, to give up their useless jobs because everything they earn goes to the idle rich like the political class and the CEOs of corporations. If only people would stop slaving, these greedy idle bastards and dictators would be gone in two weeks. Herr Starmer is living it up on our wages and accepting bribes from thieving corporate crooks who steal our money.

[@martinsigley3957]

Coincidence, I broke my neck in a cycling accident at 69! Takes a lot to recover, Major surgery on upper vertebrae, no physio offered, no compensation from the driver who knocked me off the bike. A modicum of lost pay. A lot of support from family, but had to close business and start again.

Yes I heard it listening to “Into the Mystic”. Most people require too much and are spoiled not knowing how to be happy and survive with what they have. Smart planning you can retire. That does not factor in poor choices and life’s unexpected turns. Being a minimalist helps. Happy Autumn 🍁

Families have been driven apart, but for hundreds of years we lived together. The houses are not made properly to be conducive to a large family, but you can make it that way. A piece of land with many families on it and one common area. We built a small house for 4000. A big outdoor area is next on out list. We have 4 houses on the land now various sizes. I see a large fireplace, with a stone wall on one side under a gazebo of sorts and an outdoor kitchen. We have three fenced in garden areas. It does not take a lot of money to sustain, and many things can be easily produced there for sale. Those who participate get a share. We must come back to our families, our dear friends- like our congregations. Small groups with similar beliefs, customs, laws(which are only practices of respecting one another)

As a swede I know there will be no retirement. Maybe at 75, with just a small sum of money. That's one of he reasons why I work in Norway, I hope the oil fond will grant me a pension one day.
