Gen X has been saying this since the 80s, nobody listened.
Who?
I was just about to post this.
I’m 37 and have long believed I will never actually be able to retire, and yet a large chunk of what I earn goes to so called retirement!
This was the story from W’s days.
Gen Z? Try Gen X. We’re pretty sure that money will run out or be stolen before we retire, long before our kids ever get to retirement age. I mean the politicians have been telling us they’re going to steal that money our entire lives.
I’ve been hearing that social security is gonna run out by 2040-2050 for the last 25 years. Of course they wouldn’t think they would have it.
I doubt it actually will, because if it ever does the country will turn into Mad Max. And, if that ever happens groups with any military acumen will eat the rich like a Costco Chicken.
Nearly half of Gen Zers are smart cookies.
I see a bright future for them intelligently and productively contributing to society well into their twilight years.
Their twilight years are the 2040s, when we activate Clathrate triggers
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Almost half of Generation Z adults said they don’t expect to get any of the Social Security benefits they’ve earned, according to a survey.
In a survey released Tuesday by the Nationwide Retirement Institute, 45 percent of Gen Z adults between the ages of 18 to 26 said they expect to not “get a dime” of the benefits they have earned.
More older Americans also expressed concern that Social Security could run out of funding in their lifetimes, with 75 percent of respondents aged 50 and older sharing that concern in the survey, up 9 percent from roughly a decade ago.
The fate of Social Security drew significant attention around Capitol Hill earlier this year as Republicans and Democrats warred over how to tackle the nation’s climbing debt, which stands at more than $32 trillion.
Instead, 49 percent of respondents pushed for tax increases on higher earners to pay for the program.
The sample data is accurate to “within plus 3.0 percentage points using a 95 percent confidence level,” the survey notes.
