I’ve never understood people who get bored in retirement. I looked forward to it from the very start of my career, and now that I am retired I’ve gotten so into hobbies and interests that it feels like there still isn’t enough time for everything.
Here’s to hoping we still have the physical ability to engage with those hobbies and interests.
Wow… nice.
My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.
Retirement home LAN parties… That’s the dream
That’s what I keep going for
Hopefully all your friends are still around
That might be a problem. What friends?
You can make some at true retirement home. Sad part is, our generation isn’t getting any of those, most of us will be working till we drop.
And then you die because a blood clot that formed in your leg came loose and shot up into your brain, because you’ve been sitting for weeks playing videogames.
Get one of those fancy massage chairs to help blood flow
Just plug my old ass into the matrix. If I live to see 80 we’ll probably have some kind of full dive VR by that point. Or at least something approaching it.
I don’t think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.
If you make it to Medicare age, it gets a lot less stressful. eg: my folks have had 4 knees replaced with very little out-of-pocket cost. There’s still supplemental insurance, but Medicare, not the profit-driven insurance company, determines what gets covered, and they mostly listen to doctors. There’s always edge cases, where some treatment might not be covered, but I feel like those are uncommon.
One way or the other, my ultimate health care plan is 9mm.
I have no confidence that medicare will still exist. It could be gone by next month.
Maybe in our lifetime we will see an expansion of Medicare to be a single payer system for all Americans as a publicly available option (ie: the minimum standards other insurance would need to meet to be competitive).
That would be nice. Idk I’m just hopeful in like 25 years we may see some real change ushered in when it comes to that. Probably very naively hopeful but I have to at least occasionally believe in a better future.
I get more pessimistic every year and I started out extremely pessimistic. I think humanity going extinct in my lifetime is more likely than the US getting single payer in my lifetime.
Humans won’t ever go extinct save some absolute batshit scenario that wipes the world completely clean of all life, give or take.
We’re too resourceful and we like fucking too much for humans to go extinct but it could be a pretty bleak existence for the human race at some point.
Nevertheless, I stand by my view. We are already trying our hardest to make the atmosphere replicate the atmosphere of the K-T extinction.
I’m surprised that Trump doesn’t use Obama care to prescribe 9mm medication to people. It’s a lot cheaper to pay a one time cost of a 9mm that reoccurring costs of medication. Think about it, health care costs plumit and firearms sales skyrocket. It’s a republican wet dream.
You can start right now. Kill your boss. Quit ya job.
“Error connecting to PSN Servers” (no longer exist)
I dunno. I game less and less every year. I think I’ll probably just play the odd n64 game by the time I retire.
You have to pick one n64 game. Go.
Do not disappoint me.
I know you’ll be disappointed, but Mario 64 has a fair number of levels and star missions. So, either that or Star Fox (your score can always be a little better).
Not disappointed at all.
Ocarina of Time. Randomizer.
Megaman legends.
Blast Corps
Parkinson’s disease in 3,2,1…
Helps my APM
I can finally replay that game for the first time again. /s
Grandpa’s got an extra twitchy trigger finger, better watch out!
What’s retirement?
It’s a carrot on the end of the stick that’s tied to your back
Day 3170 here… that’s still what I’m doing… But in Athens, and mouse+keyboard.
Sorry, no SS for you. Back to the office.
Me and the homes in the old person dorm. Playing games, watching movies, doing community service.
