German, here.
I failed my first college degree, and finally got one (a BSc in ecology) on the second attempt after 10 years of fucking around and procrastinating, with a grade equivalent to a C.
I've never had a full time job in my life, always worked between 24 and 32 hours a week, with 4-5 weeks of vacation per year and unlimited sick days.
I didn't inherit anything.
And I am now 200x richer than 40% of Americans, with free healthcare and a decent pension set up on top.
I realize I'm very privileged, but your country is just fucked.
We know.
Got 100k in savings?
Yes
Pension? In 2026? Wanna help me emigrate? Need a roommate? I'll bring snacks!
I’m an American with a pension but I work a state government job.. for what it’s worth
No, in 2051, hopefully.
And only the really wealthy have the means to leave the country.
seeing ot or pensioners and young guys and gals from the US in Cambodia living in the cheap

Still have to have savings and an income to be able to do it, unfortunately.
