Just believe and a small percentage of you will certainly make it.

Ignore you are 70 and still renting, ignore that rules to enter are constantly changing.
Just believe, cause one day you will be so sick and close to the end that you will have to.

    Talked to my wife a few days ago about this and made her sad with it but she could understand why i feel this way, i said i don’t want to live a long life, 50 is enough (about to be 38 btw) and if i manage to live to be 60 i’m going for assisted suicide, like why the fuck would i want to live long enough just to become someone’s burden and there’s really no point in “looking forward to retirement” because a) i’ll be too old to enjoy anything, if i am properly mobile by that point considering my job does involve heavy lifting and b) while i am earning “decent” money for the fact that my education has no relation to my current job, this money does absolutely fuck all for retirement and will get me about 1000-1500€ per month and that’s if the threshold doesn’t go any higher, investments are mainly risks that mostly don’t pan out and the time when there were investment opportunities i didn’t have money to do anything, so i’m just choosing death.

      The thing is, there’s no clear cutoff when you are so old that you become a burden.

      If you are unlucky, you might hit that at age 50. If you are lucky you might make it to 90 while being fully self-sufficient.
