Summary
Faced with inflation, taxes and concerns over the size of Social Security benefits, most Americans are more afraid of going broke in retirement than they are of death.
In total, 64% of respondents across generations said they are more stressed about running out of funds in their golden years than the prospect of death.
Americans say they need $1.26 million to finance a comfortable retirement, yet the median amount saved is $87,000. “Certainly for boomers…inflation is a big deal.”
Well that’s easily answered. It’s because they know how fucking easy it is to happen. They think if they leave their kids with enough wealth, they can just die easily “knowing” they left their kid in a good position but they trashed the world in doing so. They’re just the most thoughtlessly evil generation there ever was. Just fucking braindead to their own goals that they got from their parents. “Smell that? It’s the smell of money” no grandpa, that’s the smell of poverty and cancer you piece of shit.
