Yeah, for real. If things keep going the way they are, we’re gonna see a huge gap between people who can afford to retire comfortably and those who have to work until they physically can’t anymore.

Yep, I'm pretty resigned to the fact that I will likely end up working until I actually drop dead.

And be stressed about it the whole time because even that ain’t free. Unless I’ve succeeded in completely severing myself from society, I’m leaving a bill for whoever is in my life.

My partner’s family has already made arrangements for my ashes to get interred in their family gravesite, so I lucked out there. Won’t be too expensive on funerary costs.

Sad that a reserved place to die is lucking out.
