Work more. You have to work for what you want. Plenty of people have lived very frugally and worked hard to have a decent retirement.

I know people like you.
I have no sympathy for people like you.
I saw the garbage that goes down for most people.
Dropped school. No debt.
Live tight. Saving money.
The economy isn't bad at all.
New coworker has an Iphone X.
Cost him 1000. (Payment plan, of course. But that isn't his fault. Of course.)
Getting the new one. This one is 1200.
He makes less than eleven an hour.
He has no savings.
He doesn't deserve to have money. He has made his choices. He lives outside of his means. You don't "deserve" an iPhone. You lie in the bed you make.
lots of people who work more than 40 hours a week just to get by and have nothing for retirement. im definitely not gonna do that, im going to move into a camper and finish school. then i will have alot of money on hand not going to mortgages or rents. the hospital will give me a pension....if they dont get rid of it like every where else.
I'm against a 40 hour work week too.
It's approaching peak, and we're understaffed.
I'm taking as close to 60 as they'll let me have. (And I'm PT.)
yea if you live in the middle of nowhere maybe you can afford an iphone on minimum wage. guessing not.
but in 2 of the big cities here, the rent is $2000 / mth for 1 br.
the economy is mostly service sector low paying, extremely fragile, loaded with debt which could burst at any time. it used to be good paying manufacturing with low debts.
i like 30.
Living in a big city isn't a right either.
Stop crying, and either come up with the money, or move.

Whatever gets you to that point. Just don’t blame “the system” on why a lot of people don’t have a retirement. They don’t have it because of poor choices. No one NEEDS to buy Starbucks every day, or have the latest Louis Vuitton purse, or the fanciest vehicle or the newest iPhone. Those are choices. Poor ones.
yea but it really doesnt just come down to poor choices, its also the system.
im sure alot of poor people are frugal and struggle to get by.
governments are obligated to have decent housing policy which theyve failed to do.
Nope.
Go move to a cheaper area, if the "system" makes it too hard where you are.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are rights.
Living in a certain zip code isn't.

I don't see one bad idea in any of this bad idea guy.
where im from ppl expect the govt to do something about it, and indeed the govt campaigns saying they will.
but until theres a financial crisis, or people rise up, i have a feeling little will happen.
thats because your a heretic

I’m not saying those people don’t exist. I’m talking about the rest of them.

About 98% of your post are heresy.
to b fair, everyone sees things differently. doesnt mean there cant be truth. im not sure about what % is frugal or not, but im guessing when your earning less than $15, you wont be able to do much spending. some people have problems with credit cards.

I’ve been a single mom struggling week to week for years. If I need more money, I work more, yet still manage to put something in my 401k.
yea but you work for UPS right. most ppl dont earn $30+/hr. the median wage of high school educated grads is like $30k/yr, and for college its $40k/yr roughly.
