In 16 years I'll be 60 years old. I have failed to escape the wage cage
>>61821591do you wish you had spent less time online
>>61821595no, I don't think about that
>>61821591i'm 40, sitting about 2.8m networth now (paid off house) and thinking of quitting soon. but not sure if it'll be enough
Damn unc, I'm sorry.
>>6182159136 and still in the wage cage, but make six figs - so only plan to work for another 14 years max.
>>61821591don't feel bad anon.Life is brutal and unfair.that's how it is.At least you lived in a time where you could find a cure to basic health issues like tooth decay
How? COVID made working from home preferable
>>61821591I'll be 60 in only 12 years I don't even have a job.Let's just glide on into retirement, frens.
>>61821591Damn, me too. Turn 44 next month. I have two last hopes - 1. Possibly inheriting my parent's home. 2. Possibly moving my family to the USA and exploiting my wife's career (medical doctor). Otherwise it's over.
>>61821591Always so polarizing seeing these threads. On one hand we have the doing very well and on the other normal working class.
>>618215912 years younger than you, same situation
>>61821803Retirement age is 67, relax. It isn’t a race.
I'm in my 30s and make fuck all. At least I'm saving for retirement...

>>61821745Do you think the three "men" in that photo kept their jaws open like that for and froze their bodies in that position for the sake of the photo, or do you think it was just a coincidence?
We're going to make it, brothers.
>>61821591I mean you made it this far. Plus, what are you going to do with that time - jerk off and play videogames?I think being retired will fuck me up mentally. I need a job that's a hobby to move into.
>>61821867It is how they smile
>>61821591i will turn 32 this year and i have decided that if by 40 i have not escaped wageslavery i will kill myselfand im not saying it in the le epic reddit irony sensei actually meaningif by 40 i don't get out of the system i rather die than wage slave until i die of old age or disease
I'm 40 but unlike Americans parents gave me a free apartment and I will inherit their house too. I wage but its an easy remote job. Women are actually the hardest part about all this
>>61822288You need to find a girl who was neglected a bit and thus feels like she is nothing at all.Girl's who have pasts like that are often really wonderful people.I'm talking to a girl like this. She was absolutely unwanted by her parents. She's a bit crazy as in very emotional but very kind and sweet and surprisingly head strong.Girl's need a modicum of resistance in their early lives or they just turn into airheaded cum slots.The west is full of these kind of women because their lives are just waay too easy. Young women need hard lives. They really blossom like this.
>>61821813Seeing somebody who is important to me being this defeated and lacking this much energy is one of the saddest things I can imagine
>>61821621It’s not :/ close >>61821644When the time comes you won’t have enough.
>>61821806Based on the new food supply and medial activity you’ll be lucky to see 70
We’re probably about five years away from mass unemployment because of AI agents. It baffles me that people still say things like, “”I’ll just work another x number of years before I retire.”That’s not going to be an option for most people, especially if they’re white collar and not a senior manager+.
>>61822326>I can fix herYea this retard is trying to trick you.
when does it stop being a wage cage? I'm 37 with ~300k household income and 1.5m NW. but with two toddlers and a mortgage it's not like I can just stop working
>>61821621>>61822532the only exit from the wagie cage is when your investments produce enough income to sustain your lifestyle at a 2.5% withdrawal rate. It doesn't matter how much you make if you spend it all. >>61822403this is the main reason im still working. it's unclear to me that white collar jobs will exist in 5 years let alone 10. unemployed hungry people is how revolutions start.
>>61822990> unemployed hungry people is how revolutions start.They will just eat each other. Don’t worry. Keep stacking.
>>61821806except it is, for survival, it's not like I need to retire or I even want to at 67 its about having the option and being able to mantain myself whatever happens.
Do you have children to mooch off of atleast?That used to be the retirement plan you know
>>61821591My heart bleeds for my fellow 40+ bros. I "made it" with mid seven figures and a low effort/high recurring monthly income but failed to deal with my demons along the way.Now I have comfortable money but I'm fat, sick, and hopelessly mindfucked by porn. Last sexual encounter was almost two years ago when a sugar baby would come over once or twice a week to jerk me off to a screen.My only pleasures in life are food and watching foreigners get dragged by ICE. Being "rich" to 99% of normies isn't what you think it is.
>>61821591that's ok. that was priced in.
>>61821591I escaped the wagecage last year at age 36. I could've easily done it a few years earlier, silly me.
>>61824814I think you need a change of scenery. Move to Thailand and get yourself a young gf that likes to hit the gym and cook healthy meals daily. I'm in heaven and shining right now.
>>61822272Kill some kikes on the way out. Leave the world a better place than you found it.
>>61821591what's your net worth?
