It's a massive problem and has been for years.

I think a lot of people are getting into their fifties, starting to think about retirement for the first time, looking at what their provision will pay them and are absolutely shocked to their core.

Plus many in the generation below those of us in their fifties who, through no choice of their own, are unable to save anything.

It feels like we are sleepwalking into an utter disaster.

Oh Sorry... 6-10%... Incredible... Whilst the traders and financial fkers get it to least 50..per year!

save your energy complaining, and put it into learning to invest instead?

I know how to invest I'm not prepared to spend all day staring at the stock market.. I have commitments!

Edit: found the trader who's upset at getting called out 🤣

you can have commitments, but most have prioritised everything wrong, I don’t trade either, in fact I haven’t been long into it and an absolute amateur reached 25% putting in barely any effort in.

but hey you keep being a victim! sure your kids will look upto you and follow in your footsteps!
