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.

All those things require a surplus of cash. A lot of people don’t have that.

Surplus of cash? Holy shit I’m not saying put your 20,000 dollar trust fund in the stock market, I’m saying put aside a 100 bucks a month if you can swing it, even if it’s hard. Christ I feel for young people if nobody ever taught you how any of this works.

Yeah, you save $100 this month, then maybe the next, then your car breaks down, or you have to go to the doctor or whatever the fuck expensive thing that comes up and you’re wiped out again. Not that $1200 a year is going to do jack shit for you anyway as far as retirement goes.

I am glad you agree with me that you need to save money for potential expenses and future problems.

With that amount you’re not saving enough to do anything beyond short term emergencies and a lot of people are lucky to even get that far. It doesn’t secure you any kind of future after you’re too old/sick to work anymore.

It’s funny because I never even said “retirement” I just said to plan for your future and stop being nihilistic and thinking “I’m going to die before I’m 40 anyway.”

A lot of people feeling really unhappy at the entire message and that’s really telling about people’s anxiety right now.

Wtf else would you have been talking about? People are unhappy because your fucking stupid message ignores a shitload of reality. Not everyone has an income that even meets their cost of living, let alone save or plan anything for the future and you come on here calling them turds and lecture them about feeling hopless? Fuck you.

Yah I stand by it 100%, if you can’t muster the will to even TRY for a future, you’re a worthless turd and I don’t want your poison infecting others who are willing to keep fighting, I want people who care about the future so we can rebuild some measure of community and a better future. You don’t want to have those kinds of values, a lot of sheltered, asocial hermits in this post feel the same, so yah… I really hope you have the future you seem to want. I’m done, don’t worry I won’t reply or see any more of this.

Yes, run and hide. That’ll show us nihilists. (Except I’m an absurdist)
