CNBC Make It asked three people who have continued to work into their 90s to share their best advice for building a long, happy career. Here’s what they shared.
Bro I don’t buy anything. Most people don’t buy anything. They live paycheck to paycheck just covering the basics. The little I spend on not being miserable wouldn’t be even 1% enough to save to retire at 35. The only way for me to cut costs is to start squatting? Steal food from the supermarket? Idk. In Minecraft ofc.
Let me guess, you have no idea how most people in the world live. Most people in most places can’t afford a car at all, and spend a good chunk of their money on public transport anyways.
I assume you’re in the USA? Can imagine it to be a lot harder there than elsewhere.
Here you wouldn’t even need to work at all, as long as you’re ok with the very bare mininum like rent and food and stuff. A reason why we’re drowning in refugees.
The more kids the merrier.
Or work some hours a week and earn a lil extra with tons of spare time left.
How one could do this in the US on minimum, i can’t even imagjne. Sorry bro. But we all will catch up with your dystopia sooner or later…
Man if you think the US is the hardest place to live, you truly are drowning in privilege. No offence.
And I hope you do realise that the benefits and ease you have to live life are the direct fruits of the overexploitation of the global south by your government.
What’s with the hate guys? I’m only living your impossible dream and telling you that if you weren’t an idiot you’d be retired at 35 too!
Who said anything about impossible? All it takes is lowering your expectations on how much stuff you can buy.

Let me guess: “basics” include expenses to commute to work in a car, right?
Well, for starters, don’t do that.

No, jeez. I’m gladly not in the US. And comparing to other so called first-world-nations it’s surely the worst shithole.
So yes, I do know that. And i dislike it,even though I’m benefitting from it. Like we all do from slave labour in india, china, Pakistán and wherever…
Is it okay to ask you what continent/country you live in?
Germany. And why should it not be ok to ask? :-)
Just in case it wasn’t ok
