    A millionaire and a billionaire? That’s a huge difference. At this point, if someone is 55 and wants to retire at 68 and not be 70 and working at Walmart, they’re going to need to be a "multi-"millionaire.

    Idk, I’m much younger, and my retirement plan is the same as everyone else my age: walk into the woods when I’m ready or die in the water wars later when I’m not.

    But I still feel bad for the elderly forced to work because a retirement home with medical support, i.e. assisted living, is too expensive and your kids can’t help you because they’re barely surviving too, and that’s while working, and you can barely work, but assisted living is 4-12k/month, so you work and hope you die before you become a burden on your children and grandchildren.

    Anyway. The difference between a millionaire and a billionaire is vast. One million seconds ago was last week.

    One billion seconds ago was fucking 1991.
