I’m one of those who don’t spend my money on anything except the essentials and splurge for trips and stuff. I don’t see a future any more, so I might as well enjoy whatever little I can get in this life.

That’s what I’ve been seeing more of my millennial friend group doing. Basically said fuck saving for retirement. The world is going to shit before then.

So…their plan is to be destitute later in life?

I used to think the world was ran by adults. That has been proven time and time again that they are in fact not adults.

The environment is starting to get worse and worse. Just last year, in DECEMBER, there was a tornado in my area. To add to that, tornados have been more and more common as I’ve gotten older. When I was a kid, you MIGHT have gotten one or two in my area a year. That has doubled now that I’m an adult.

I don’t know where you live where you see a future to save for, but here in the US, it’s just not something I can see in the cards anymore. Trust me, I used to be all about saving. I’d rather enjoy my life right now, while I still have some energy.

Certainly heading that way by their actions. But flip side they think I’m saving for a retirement that won’t be worth having because the environment will be collapsing.
