65? What Utopian country is that?
In Germany it's work until you die. Boomers chill from 65. We will work well into our 70s ๐
In Sweden it's 62-65.
In Finland it's 65-68, however retirement system is likely to collapse before my actual retirement age, so I "retired" last summer at 28.
How do you do that?
Both grandparents died last spring, shitty as it is, at least I don't have to break my back at a timbermill anymore.
in finland you can choose not to work or do anything, and the government pays you just enough so you can eat and have a roof over your head
