More Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, putting retirement out of reach, report finds
Just Americans?
Given the level of financial inequality across the planet, I'd hazard a guess that this experience is significantly more widespread than just one country.
I was just reading an article about how France’s new PM resigned after 14 hours because to some degree they’re all afraid of tackling the issue of no one being able to afford living anymore. There’s obviously more to it, but my British boss working in the states also told me about how the UK basically had zero options for normal people too. It’s rough everywhere, but we also shouldn’t let that stop us here in the US from trying to make progress on the issue at home.
There is only one solution 🤷♂️
Yeah and some countries never had retirement, at least like they do here. If we’re hurting they’re dying.
Oh look, it's that article I have seen every year my entire adult life.
Considering how stressed I am about my finances - even though I started investing early, have a solid buffer, track my expenses, and am self-employed with the ability to influence my income - I can only imagine what it must be like for someone with none of that, when even I’m barely scraping by.
It's frustrating to barely break even each month while having no expenses to cut down on.
I feel bad for kids. I’m never gonna retire… you’re never gonna take my job.
When are these reports, with all of their stats and analysis, just admit that this all by design. We're all just slaves to the owning class.
But hey... At least grocery prices are down.
/s
Yep, pulled down my 401k input because that little bit extra is needed at the moment.
I went into debt again because of some car trouble. Ugh.
Can't read the article with its stupid ads breaking the page, but just wanted to say, isn't that the point of Trump manipulating the stock market?
Corporations win. Again. They will suck every minute and cent from you until you are a broken husk.
Guess that's not just the USA. Making people "live" paycheck to paycheck is design. The less they have, the less they revolt or even start to question things. And while so many adults might never see retirement, I weep for the next generations. They start there....
I'm amongst the lucky ones that retired in their 20-something's (it's so long ago I even forgot), but I witness the state of the world coming down every day. Bit by bit. Slowly but steady. I voluntarily work with, let's say, people fucked by existence, and the numbers are constantly rising. Yet the number of people willing to help is declining. No wonder...
Didn’t need a report for that
Right?! That's the old defimition of artificial intelligence in a nutshell.
