    If I expected to have a future I’d probably save for it, but I’ll never afford a house, be able to raise a family, and will spend my last years working until I’m 90 paying some landparasite most of my pay check.

    Might as well enjoy what time I have and go out guns blazing in my 60s.

      I’m lucky, I have a tech job and might actually be able to pay off my mortgage if I can live to 65.

      I’m still working paycheck-to-paycheck though. There’s literally no room in the household budget for vacations or retirement savings.
