How much money do you save for retirement each month?

 

[PPLdude]

Nothing - I didn't get my booster so I'm going to die anyways, so what's the point

Is retirement still truly feasible for more than a few?

30% of zero is still zero.

Other. 16% of my income but this does not take into account mortgage repayments and increasing equity on our house.

Save? What is this.... save, you refer to...?

The recommended standard is at least 15%, very strange that that number was not included, so I voted other.

I saved more for quite a while at the start (20%) and it's all growing quite nicely.

66.6%

The excel spreadsheet you forget to save after hours of work...

Only my work pension contribution. Whatever extra I would put away I spend on bacon. That was I will be dead when retirement happens. Delicious bacon and no retirement to worry about. Win/Win

Hmm, you are wise. So spending on things that shorten your life is equivalent to saving? Buying cigarettes, alcohol, and bacon is financially responsible!

Please explain this concept of "retirement"?

 

[Crayons]

I'm hoping Russia nukes us. I've been training for this senario for years. I'm a level 69 COD general and I've fxcked so many people's moms.

**** retirement.

I am planning to die before 70, so only have to worry about 5 years. Both my father and uncle went before 70, my father at 68.

A retirement annuity is the worst financial investment I've ever made.

 

[3WA]

I’m lucky enough to save decently (~15% of income, which is actually more than cost of living), but now that I think about it, my job may actually kill me.

Or my employer may kill me.
