Boomers and gen X are the ones not able to retire. Most of the younger generations have that ability.
Please explain.
They haven't saved for retirement and grew up in an Era with with work offering pensions as rare.
Younger generations have greater growth and more savings across the board.
I fully expect a lot of the younger generations to say "fuck it" and just live in poverty instead.
I'm already seeing this attitude in my adult son and his friends and it's getting increasing hard to motivate him when he sees no light at the end of the tunnel to work for.
