Get back to work goy. You won't find happiness doing nothing. You might if you keep slaving away though!

It's because the parents raised them to see the danger in everything: gotta wear a helmet! don't cross that street! get a grown up to walk with you! why not just stay in and play games? remove the merry-go-round wnd monkey bars from this playground right now! no, Timmy, don't get into that nice stranger's murder van to get some candy! etc., etc.

The problem is that the early awareness of their looming mortality comes with a host of other baggage that is destroying society as they remake it in their image.

As bad as the boomers have been, and they've been just fucking horrible, we ain't seen nothing yet until millennials are fully entrenched and running the show.

Imagine 321 AOCs in Congress, the Presidency, and a slim majority on the Supreme Court.

He’s still an attention whore who will do anything to turn a buck by billing his website, doing podcasts, and stupid articles like this though. So he hasn’t lost that.

He also bought some new build on a tear down lot in a marginal neighborhood for about $1m in 2023 because he really started to make money. That house has surely declined since his purchase. He works hard at his little video gig and I’m sure he makes a lot so his life has probably been transformed by his income, but nevertheless the self-proclaimed financial guru has probably lost his fair share of money playing too near to the hot stove that is Amerikkkan real estate.

cr - there’s no reason to retire

The whole FIRE thing is set up around the idea that there’s this dichotomy between the fungible Office Space office drone and the fiercely independent, fulfilled, and happy retired dude. Neither of those extremes is a very accurate portrayal of irl.

Correct. The happy retired bros all still have some kind of small business hustle that translates to still being an office bro even if a self employed office bro.

Think this is right. I retired early twice. First time I ended up going to BIGACADEMIA full time for 5 years. After that I fell into part time gig working for about 18 years. Now into almost 9th year of volunteering on non-profit boards.
