Pretty much struggling at 40. Not in debt but no savings either. Parents don't have any property so no inheritance forthcoming.
Could've been worse. I feel much more sorry for gen Z and alpha at this point.
Retirement though seems out of the question.
Pretty much the only reason I own my home and will be able to retire is I got fucked up in the military.
No down payment, a monthly check that covers my mortgage, and I'll never have to pay for healthcare.
I get all the shit progressives want everyone to have and it's insane how big of a difference it makes. Not sure if I'll live long enough to see everyone else get that stuff, but I hope I do.
People keep talking about the largest wealth transfer in history.. but that money is staying with the one percent. Normal people don't have their lives set for them based off inheritance. I honestly know more people who will be supplementing their parents retirement more than anything.
Btw is your name a reference to Kyrgyzstan?
