minus-squareRagnarok314159@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 months agoI started saving at 19, opened an awesome account for retirement as best was told after joining the army. Almost the entirety of it was wiped out after the banking collapse. All those “proprietary investment funds” failed, was left with maybe 5k. Then we had 2009-2012, we all worked minimum wage in our 30’s. Millennials mostly have nothing to retire on.
