401 fucking K screwed me over big time. Don't expect anything from them, my friends. They lied to us.

LOL could someday?! Hahaha. Oh you're funny Forbes.

$40,000—That’s how much the typical Generation X household has saved for retirement.

Who are these people? We have nothing. We barely make it through the month paycheck to paycheck.

My retirement plan involves a ditch at the side of a road in Colorado in winter with a nice view of the Rockies

Speak for yourselves.

Some of us have been following the FIRE movement from before it was even called the FIRE movement.

If I can do it, anyone can. Reddit used to have a well trafficked FIRE community, but I fear that Lemmy does not.
