"Gen X could someday soon find themselves in the unenviable position of being the forgotten middle child of history."

LOL could someday?! Hahaha. Oh you're funny Forbes.

401 fucking K screwed me over big time. Don't expect anything from them, my friends. They lied to us.

$40,000—That’s how much the typical Generation X household has saved for retirement.

Who are these people? We have nothing. We barely make it through the month paycheck to paycheck.

My retirement plan involves a ditch at the side of a road in Colorado in winter with a nice view of the Rockies

Speak for yourselves.

Some of us have been following the FIRE movement from before it was even called the FIRE movement.

You’re the exception, not the rule

If I can do it, anyone can. Reddit used to have a well trafficked FIRE community, but I fear that Lemmy does not.
