Title: Is getting old with no career or retirement options really this bad.
Post by: MikMaq on February 15, 2013, 03:05:29 PM
I mean seriously, I'm worry about how I'm gonna get food in a year, how does one, pass thirty without some chance of retirement.

Maybe you should have been working, and saving like decent people?  ???

I truly feel sorry for all the hardworking Canadians that are being taxed so you can lay around all day like some kind of fat and disgusting barnyard animal.

If you're a complete failure, where do you get off acting like you're knowledgeable about anything in all these threads?

I didn't have a problem with you until you turned into some kind of know-it-all when you clearly don't know shit about anything.

There won't be any retirement.
The generation that's around the 60 year range now is the last to retire and re/get money. Pension funds are avid evaporators in financially disastrous times.

People don't understand saving at all.  You need to save so much of your income that you live like a poor man.

We need to all take a look at our grandparents, and try to do the things they did.

This is what the society is coming down to. He has a house and it's not fair. He has a new car and it's not fair. His job pays well and he invests in the stocks through his 401K retirement and it's not fair.  That guy works manual labor at his construction laborer job all night for 12 hours and he has a pension, paid vacation, and future. I should have the same thing even though I don't work hard.  That guy went to college for 7 years to become a pharmacist and he makes over 100K why I'm I only making 20K being a pharmacist assistant.

The morale to the story if you want something in life you have to work for it. Don't expect someone to hand it to you even if you voted for Obama.

Kind of.  Yes, the dude needs to get off his butt.  But the expectation that just working hard will benefit the hard worker is nonsense.  It's more profitable to just screw the idiot worker unless he's uniquely desireable and simply throw another warm body into the blender to replace him.

Knuckling under, being a good loyal worker, etc, is a losing strategy.  The more someone crawls, the more they get exploited.  It used to pay dividends, 1950s-early 80s, but no more.  That's what society has come to.

Mercenary as fuck.  Everyday.

Working hard made sense in an age when retirement around 50 was the norm, but when you gotta make it to 70, working hard can be deadly. The stress and accumulative injuries will take it's toll.

Quite frankly working hard these days is fucking irresponsible.

You are never too old to finish school get a degree and a job if you want to, you choose to be a loser so shut the fuck up.
Yeah well in my case that may be true I have no other choice.

But for many getting in debt just to make a few dollars more is not worth it, and will be taking on worthless debt.

This isn't about me directly, there are many that will be trapped working mininum wage for a long time.

Lol considering my whole point is that my generation won't see a drop of retirement money I think your laughable.

Many people here got rather delusional ideas of what it takes to retirement without government support.

If you make 10 bucks an hour how much money can you actually put aside year to year.

how do you feel knowing that your grandmother can't retire because of disgusting parasites like you milking the Canadian system?

you're no better than some mouthwash swigging native sponging off the poor bastard taxpayers his whole life and complaining about everything he gets for free.

how about you go apply at mcdonalds and put your spazzing hand movements to use flipping burgers?

considering the source, I would disagree. co worker of mine works overtime just about every day he has off. Not too fun and not too mentally healthy in my opinion, however, after 10 yrs of busting his butt this way with little play time he has paid off his house, car and motorcyle and has aquired quite a nice 401K. Now when he hits 55 he'll be on that beach drinking foo foo drinks and enjoying the sun while those who just wanted to do the minimum and get by are still on the job.. I also know many self employed business owners who own nice houses and drive nice cars.. and most of them put in 60 to 70 hrs a week building their businesses so on down the road they can lay back and reap the rewards.

Having a plan, sticking to it and working hard pays off most of the time. But when you start by dropping out of school and getting no trade skills to speak of that you can market, I gotta ask, what the hell did you think would happen? Stop whinning and either get trained in the areas that are paying (even without an education) or plan on working till 70 like everyone else... hope this helps

And a friend of mine  worked 80 hours a week and died on the fucking job. If you wanna swap anecdotes go the fuck somewhere else.

Regardless, I doubt any of the folk you mentioned would get by in retirement without the SSI benefits either.

It's also entirely likely they haven't planned well for 20 years down the fucking road either.

The fact is it's exceptionally hard to plan for 30-40 years of possible retirement.

So unless your able to save half your fucking income for retirement don't giive me no bullshit.

would you restate your point? I can't figure out what you're trying to say. It seems like you are saying that even though you haven't done any groundwork to increase your worth in the market, you are surprised and dismayed that you will be forced to continue to work until you reach an age when the government will subsidize your expenses.  And in addition, have no intention of attempting to better your lot in life..

Your a fucking idiot, we all can't be winners. This isn't about me, I'm talking about society as a fucking whole.

If we all just work hard and do the right thing, things like property values go through the fucking roof, and were busting a balls to go in reverse. This is actually whats starting to happen.

If your too fucking stupid to get that there must be winners and losers in an economy your a fucking idiot.

I moved how you stupid fuck to save up money. It's a slow economy here so it takes a fuck ton longer to get a job here, than it does in a city.

Its winter in a small town, the only way I'm getting a job is if several people loose there jobs, as business here is beyond sluggish in the winter months.

Pull your head out of your ass, and think about the situation.

The economy adjusts, not everyone can be winners, if everyone can afford a home, the price inflates on housing until not everyone can this is how the economy works.

Immigrants with NOTHING come here and are able to buy homes and provide for themselves and their families....where you, born into the very lap of luxury in the wealthiest nation the planet as ever seen, bitch and complain and hope that Uncle Sam sends you a paltry SS check every month.

THINK OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM.

Do you want a home?  A better job?  A retirement?  What is stopping you?  Why don't you think of ways to better your life rather than bitching and moaning and bitching and moaning and bitching and moaning on a bodybuilding site?

Got debt?  Do two menial jobs like swamping toilets or flipping burgers until you pay off a debt.  Obtain a school loan.  If you live in such a shitty town, why don't you FUCKING MOVE??!!  Texas has a booming economy, and North Dakota has a 3% unemployment rate.  

Ah, fuck it.....why bother telling anyone this?  I hope you and people like yourself don't listen.  It's less competition for someone like me who  looks to constantly improve his situation.

first, you can't make friends and potential contacts in the workforce by calling everyone who disagrees a dipshit or idiot. It just comes across as low rent trailer park trash.

Immigrants with NOTHING come here and are able to buy homes and provide for themselves and their families....where you, born into the very lap of luxury in the wealthiest nation the planet as ever seen, bitch and complain and hope that Uncle Sam sends you a paltry SS check every month.

THINK OF THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM.

Do you want a home?  A better job?  A retirement?  What is stopping you?  Why don't you think of ways to better your life rather than bitching and moaning and bitching and moaning and bitching and moaning on a bodybuilding site?

Got debt?  Do two menial jobs like swamping toilets or flipping burgers until you pay off a debt.  Obtain a school loan.  If you live in such a shitty town, why don't you FUCKING MOVE??!!  Texas has a booming economy, and North Dakota has a 3% unemployment rate.  

Ah, fuck it.....why bother telling anyone this?  I hope you and people like yourself don't listen.  It's less competition for someone like me who  looks to constantly improve his situation.
I live in canada you fucking dolt, and just moved out of a fucking oil boom. Once spring comes I can save way more money in the next twelve months than I could ever save working away.

I also have back problems that cannot be ignored you ignorant shit. How is an adult incapable of understanding this, are you emotionally weak that you can't acknowledge an unfortunate reality.  ::)


Seriously are you that emotional retarded that you can't actually talk about the fucking subject.

As I said I wasn't talking about me directly. I was sympathizing with the overall population.

first, you can't make friends and potential contacts in the workforce by calling everyone who disagrees a dipshit or idiot. It just comes across as low rent trailer park trash. Second, I apologize for giving you a hard time. I have eaten ramen noodles and my share of pasta and cheap marinara sauce a few days from payday in my younger days. It's not fun. Sorry. Glad things will look up for you in the spring
I have aspergers you fucking dolt, going the route of networking isn't an option, which does cut down on my career paths greatly.

Can you not understand that your supposed wisdom only works for a fraction of the actual population.

Okay, so I'm clear, we are leaving the "I'm not sure where I'll get food next year" and moving on to a general "What do the public in general who can't afford to retire do?"  

On that topic, it's pretty simple. They work until the hit retirement age. My dad didn't have a highschool diploma. He went into the Army at 17 in 1946. He worked driving a truck till he hit 65 and retired. Most of the people I grew up around worked well into their late 60's to early 70's before retiring. It's just the way it was. I guess I'm having a hard time grasping the "Oh My God!" panic you are trying to paint by saying some people, some unlucky, less fortunate, whatever people, are going to find they have to work until they are 70.... Been that way for a long while.

my father in law moved to canada in his early 20's with literally $100 in his pocket, worked a shit job to put himself through engineering school and he ended up making something like 200k a year, owned his own home and great pension.

canada has some amazing opportunities for hard working smart people

Save your ramen noodles and cat food is all I can tell ya if you don't prepare for retirement. Social security wasn't meant to sustain your full retirement anyhow.

Your first objective should be to get a job soon and not worry about the long term future yet. There's so many online businesses you could start with very little startup money or human interaction. I have a great career but still have my own side business which will supplement my 401k and personal savings. I don't need SS nor expect it..

And a friend of mine  worked 80 hours a week and died on the fucking job. If you wanna swap anecdotes go the fuck somewhere else.

Regardless, I doubt any of the folk you mentioned would get by in retirement without the SSI benefits either.

It's also entirely likely they haven't planned well for 20 years down the fucking road either.

The fact is it's exceptionally hard to plan for 30-40 years of possible retirement.

So unless your able to save half your fucking income for retirement don't giive me no bullshit.


This asshole is not Canadian. He references 401k's which is an American retirement instrument & now SSI which is an American governmental support service. This punks whole time on GetBig has been a sham. SHUT HIM THE FUCK DOWN.

in ex yugoslavia, lets take serbia as example, a cop will earn 200 euros a month.a judge(!!!!) 300euros.

recipe for corruption, brutal

the pensions are less than the above obviously.

montenegro is even worse, they dont even have an own currency they just use the euro.

croatian cops make 1000euros, but living cost exploded there.

slovenia ppl earn 600euros a month and are all in debt,

if you got a job in ex jugoslavia is one thing, getting wage paid is another.

my cosuin works as sexcurity guard, armed, and gets 150euro monthly, supposed to get, and he dont get aid most of the time.has children to feed.

meanwhile in switzerland ,it simpossible, impossible to end up homeless.the govt will take care of you.for they dont want tourists to see any homeless and ppl believe here in helping the poorer dropouts.

pensions in switzerland are basically the full wage one earned before, or if one wants to leave the nation, he can collect all the money at once and go.
if everything else fails, there the dole system, where govt pays for living, healthcare and 1000usd monthly to live you get.

THAT is the current best possible state any govt could build imo.

its a very balanced mix of capitalism and social policies.


yeah i know,balkan countries are fucked up,with a salary of a "normal" worker you cant do anything,builidng a house or buy an appartamnet..let say you start alone at 20-25 years old and you want to buy your own appartament,if the cost of an 50 square meter appartamnet is 100 000 euros you have to get a mortgage for 15-30 years and basicly you will pay double the price of the appartamnet!

of course thats only an example but as i know if you work a normal job in swiss,you can live pretty well!

they dont understand with balkan people,when they go out to work in countryes like swiss,australia etc when they come back they are rich cause the cost of living is not like in country where they live!

give me your example,you work in the hotel for how much hours a week and whats your salary in swiss frank?
and what is suposed to be your pension if you know based on salary,i dont know how it goes if you earn for example 100 000 a year is a pension 60% of a salary so you will get 60 000 a year in pension a year?

Who the fuck knows it's just as possible, that the only true bet is having valuable skills in 5 years as it is having property.

As land housing etc, is in a huge fucking bubble in canada. If the border between canada and the usa, tomorrow became slightly more transparent, most housing in canada would have it's value cut in half.

People don't understand saving at all.  You need to save so much of your income that you live like a poor man.

We need to all take a look at our grandparents, and try to do the things they did.

THIS.

I dont think most people really understand just how much money they spend on stupid shit they shouldn't be buying because they aren't even saving anything.  They buy the latest gadgets, a new phone every year.  New computer. New TV's. They buy their breakfasts, lunches and dinners instead of cooking at home. They switch cars every five years, go on trips, purchase the latest fashions, have a million TV channels, buy all new furniture where they don't have to pay for a year and a half thinking that the due date will never come,  etc..

My parents earned less then most working factory jobs but paid off their house long ago and have decent pensions and savings but it only happened because they did the complete opposite of the above untitl their financial situation allowed them to do so. Most people want it all and they want it yesterday.
