Please stop being doomer about your future. This is the most common and dumb cliche delusion that people get stuck in.

Every single on of you “I don’t plan on living that long” angst-turds out there are exactly the same as the evangelical christians who are planning for the rapture.

You will in fact live to 65 and you better fucking do something about it and make your plans now. Make realistic plans too, open a savings account with high yield, work on your education, get smarter, become social and emotionally intelligent, get therapy, fix your body and mind. These are your goals, not these fantasies I always see about either dying young or getting rich.

open a savings account

It’s one thing to have an account. It’s another thing to be able to put money in it. I’m lucky if I don’t have to take money out of my savings all month. About half my clothes have holes in them, and I keep thinking, “Maybe next paycheck I can go shopping.” But by the time next paycheck comes, it pretty much all goes to rent, food, fuel, or whatever else is more dire than new clothes.

But yeah, tell me more about how I’m not saving enough for a retirement that will probably never come.

In case you aren’t already, you should try shopping at Goodwill or another local thrift store. I get most of my clothes from there. Last time I took my daughter because she has strong fashion opinions.
