I dream of early retirement and finishing my backlog with my son. Sounds so fun.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 28 points 6 days ago

I've never understood people who get bored in retirement. I looked forward to it from the very start of my career, and now that I am retired I've gotten so into hobbies and interests that it feels like there still isn't enough time for everything.

[-] NauticalNoodle@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 days ago

Here's to hoping we still have the physical ability to engage with those hobbies and interests.

[-] menemen@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I also have 5 hobbies and many more interests. I am only scared that I don't have enough energy left in me once I retire.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

It's amazing how much energy you get from waking up without the obligation to go somewhere and work on somebody else's shit all day because you have to. Gives me a big smile every morning!

Retirement home LAN parties... That's the dream

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago

Invites all around! Remind me in 20 years.

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

Hopefully all your friends are still around

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 9 points 6 days ago

That might be a problem. What friends?

[-] Ifera@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

You can make some at true retirement home. Sad part is, our generation isn't getting any of those, most of us will be working till we drop.

[-] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 6 points 6 days ago

That’s what I keep going for

I don't think any amount of achievable retirement savings is enough to give me confidence that I could cover escalating health care costs enough that I could retire. Even if I had $10M in the bank, I would worry that the cost of health care will rise fast enough to impoverish me.

You just move to a county with actual Healthcare as part of your retirement. Won't even need 5 mil.

Gaming and smoking a shit ton of weed in retirement is gonna be great… if we still have social security and access to 401k’s at that point lmao

[-] CMonster@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago

That sounds like what I do now except I have to start at 4:45 instead of when I wake up...

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

If they cut the system, we'll get the money in our pay. So at least we can control it. Just don't spend it on games that will hit your backlog and sit for years. I'm personally guilty btw.

[-] AlwaysRushesIn@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago

What do you think I plan on doing in my retirement?

If you retire with no SS, medicare, an insurance that is required to cover you, medicaid to keep the doors open for even a retirement home to care for you, and your 401K is destroyed from the plunging depression that's on the rise... it might be cool to worry a bit.

[-] ryper@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.

[-] johlits@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Until you start playing an MMO and turn it to a new job.

[-] x4740N@lemm.ee 10 points 6 days ago

By the time I retire I hope we're in or moving towards a mix of solarpunk and star trek like utopia

"Error connecting to PSN Servers" (no longer exist)

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The PS9 is backwards compatible with PS4 controllers.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

The PS9 services for the PSN have been discontinued. Please upgrade to the PS11 to continue using your endocrine system.

And then you die because a blood clot that formed in your leg came loose and shot up into your brain, because you’ve been sitting for weeks playing videogames.

I'll restart and 100% stardew valley or die trying. Always wanted to commit to it, never did.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'll be riding my bike till I feel and die.

[-] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

Just plug my old ass into the matrix. If I live to see 80 we'll probably have some kind of full dive VR by that point. Or at least something approaching it.
