I'm can officially retire in about 13yrs or so. Probably not getting much anyway as I maybe worked a year in toto my whole life. As I unofficially retired in my mid 20s and luckily don't need to worry and will donate my governmental retirement-funds.

But comparing the newer generations with e.g. the boomers or ealier is sickening. How much would one need to work in a well-paying job just to be able to live semi-comfortably in retirement? And what if you're us-american or from some other semi-civilized country...the world sucks.
