Wait, you guys are gonna be able to retire? /s

It's been pretty obvious to me most of my adult life that people like myself will always only ever struggle to make ends meet and will never have the luxury of not working (I'm mid 30s now). Honestly, that's the only rather perverse upside to our current state of greedflation, that sense of "hey, it's not just me anymore, it's everyone". Plenty of people out there feel like people in poverty deserve it somehow, and aren't shy in expressing that, so watching them struggle to be poor has been... an experience of awful validation, I guess is how I would describe it. But to the point, the work I do now I'll be able to do when I'm elderly and/or ill too, it's not physically taxing at all, so that's my old age plan lol.
