My cousin retired at 48.

Union. Worked since 23, and got his 25 years in.

This isn't revolutionary: it's just an equitable contract. And if it LOOKS revolutionary to you, what's that say about your present situation?

So what does he does he do all day?

I would be bored AF retired at 50, not like retirement is a lot of money to play with.

No government would allow this, even now the minimum retirement age keeps going up, they want us to die before we can get any money out of the retirement fund so they can keep it.

We should set it as the average life expectancy minus 20 years. That way the government would actually be incentivised to raise people's life expectancy to maximize working years.

Realistically, the only way you're going to get the money to do this is by lowering the working age a corresponding number of years or maaaaaaaaybe cooking and eating all the billionaires ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŒพ

Fuck billionaires for sure, but higher wage earners are older so I dont know that younger workers would help all that much

Hope you're ready to arm yourself, cuz that's what it'll take to achieve that.
