Current Events > Its messed up that life only gets harder as you age

(+) Yeah! (+)

I feel like society should accommodate for this somehow. There is no reason why things like skid row should be real places.

Its the unfortunate truth. The previous generation got to retire, but most of us wont. Social security will not exist for us and the cost of living makes life so expensive that you cant save for retirement.

It honestly makes no sense. How are you going to devalue the dollar at a disproportionate rate than living costs meanwhile the oldest generation become commodities for the youth to make a living off of due to their problems. I am also fairly sure the average person cannot retire at 65 to a senior home due to low income.

Oh well.

If a person's life is that messed up for them by retirement age, then that's just their choices that they've made in their younger years catching up to them.

Everybody wants to party, but no one wants to do prep work, nor the clean-up.

Dude most people barely get by every month and live month to month, it has nothing to do with partying or making poor decisions, there are simply only a certain number of spots at the top, i think it is only 10% of the population who makes over 6 figures a year so you are incorrect in your assessment. Look at the wave of evictions right now, look at the housing crisis right now, these are not people who did not plan things out it is people struggling to survive and get by every month. This is not taking into account the mental health problems people face from the perpetual higher demands of worker productivity since the entire system is designed to make more out of less, then there are health related problems that occur as well throughout a personslife. Just because it has not happened to you does not mean it wont and given your lack of ability to empathize all the stuff that happens to people throughout their life like their parents dying or spouse dying or children dying...it makes no sense to have such a cruel and brutal system.
