minus-squarechonglibloodsport@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 days agoI’m confused. Here was your original comment: When you could stop working and just coast off of what you’ve got till you die. At that point, making more is a luxury. That, to me, includes grandmas who live off their pension cheque as “coasting off what you’ve got.” Did you not intend for that interpretation?
minus-squareBoomkop3@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoI do, building up a pension over your life is a luxury I think people deserve. I do count those grandma’s as wealthy. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing, I think people should be able to retire.
