This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

That's a slightly more direct way of phrasing it, yes.

Put money into retirement.

On average people need over $1,000,000 in it to retire comfortably now.

I wasn't talking about myself. See, if anon didn't even think about traveling for example, he probably will need a passport, vaccinations, foreign payment methods, luggage, etc. That takes a person with a full time job weeks to sort out.

Yes. Buy lots and lots of options.
