Most American millennials I know have the same retirement plan as myself : a bullet or shotgun shell to the brainstem.
Why? The reasons vary:
American optimism gave us big dreams, but the American economy crushed them.
The open internet made us realize that we are, in fact, the baddies on the world stage.
A decent retirement for millennials will cost $6-10million, a feat most cannot achieve without inheritance.
Climate change is making our only planet uninhabitable, and our nation is leading the effort to make it even worse.
There is no future in the states.
There no future on this planet.
The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
I honestly laugh to myself when I work out or go to the doctor. I keep thinking “why am I even doing this if I just plan on eating a shotgun at some point in the future?” That’s about the extent of my optimism for the future, a final “spicy” meal at some point lol
Wtf!!! Did you steal my retirement plan?!
But seriously hope you stick around, I’ve lost too many friends to divide and it sucks, but I get it and I don’t judge… you never really know what someone else is going through.
Hope you got people to talk to if need be and if not feel free to PM here.
Can’t let Lenny’s user numbers drop ;) /s ( shitty coping mechanism, but it gets me by).
Lmao staying alive to continue saying fuck spez
when spite is a bigger motivation than hope …
it’s apathetic exhaustion. we don’t give a fuck anymore lol. all the death rates are up across categories because self-care applied anywhere is difficult.
Death rates are up across categories because literally nobody I know can afford to go to the doctor, insurance or not. Those that have insurance can get their prescriptions refilled, sure, but beyond that anything requiring a specialist is still going to put anyone back thousands of dollars. Nobody has it.
