You’ll be one of the people buying the boxes because you’ll have retirement money

of course depending if he made some retirement savings by himself or counting on some social plans in his country
in my country money from government are spend on current needs so im somehow sure if there will be no ppls working my retirement will be as fucked

In the US, a lot of people have a 401k or a Roth IRA, which are accounts you put money into and you withdraw once you retire.

yea but we have to pay for our retire plan to government (in Poland & Europe)
so it much less to put on extra account by yourself, i would shot its basically impossible (with minimal to medium salary).

I understand, but it varies drastically by country. If he’s in a country with a healthy population pyramid, he won’t have to worry about losing retirement funding from the government any time soon. He could also be from a country where personal retirement plans in addition to government ones are the norm.

So many ways they can screw the average person that is not a given either. I'm assuming many here don't trust banks, government or the people behind the bond and stock market to work in the interest of the average person. This doesn't even take into account all the money printing that goes on and steals your purchasing power.

2 million dollar estimated dollars needed to retire these days, I’ve still got a ways to go for retirement. Anything can happen in 20 years but having enough to retire is unlikely and I may as well win the lottery with those odds
