The current working generation (let’s say millennials mostly) is being sacrificed, both for the previous and next generations to survive. Our taxes (at least in the EU) are supporting (or being collected to support in the future) both the retirement benefits of the older generation, and the benefits that young adults are getting so they don’t move to other countries and leave the next generation hanging when it’s their time to retire. On top of this, the system is completely unsustainable, so it’s unlikely millennials will ever retire comfortably (or at all).

So yeah, I’d say that’s about right. I just wish I could have some dignity in life, after all the work I put in. Enjoying is not even a goal anymore. And just wait until the job market tightens even further and starts affecting blue collar workers as it is currently affecting IT.

Yeah, not looking good. And it’s a worldwide problem, unfortunately.
