Yeah I mean I love my rents and all, but I am sick of hearing from them how much better we have it, and how we just don't want to work hard.
My dad got a job right out of high school at a factory and worked there for 35 years. Now, he ended up getting fucked over a bit by other boomers, but, he was still able to pull a pretty dece retirement, and now he is working again, but they are able to sock all that money away. Unless you have a state job, which are impossible to get unless you want to be a teacher and make peanuts, or a police officer and risk getting shot in the head just because you work that particular job, then VERY few jobs offer a retirement. Sure, some of them have 401k's which are bullshit because they are just literally a gamble. I would rather get my full pay than have to invest in Fiat.
What my parents seem to not understand though, is there will be NO retirement for us. NO SS, NO PAYOUTS, NADA. So they can keep on bitching while we work to pay for the SS that the government stole from them, but ultimately without us, they are SOL. At that point, they will either lose the social security that they put into, or the government will have to pay up.
