Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations.

About 41% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials — those who are currently between 27 and 42 years old — are significantly more likely to want to do some form of paid work during retirement.

This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Although younger workers don’t intend to stop working, there is still an effort to beef up their retirement savings.

It’s ok! Don’t ever retire! Just work until you die, preferably not at work, where we’d have to deal with the removal of your corpse.

    It’s a way to turn people off of what they really mean.

    “Quiet quitting” is just doing your job. Trying to make it seem like breaking your back to help someone profit is the minimum to do unless you want to be branded a quitter.

    “Soft saving” is apparently the requirement of working til your dead because no one gets paid enough to…hard save…I guess.

        Ask a question, albeit rhetorical. Get answer that seems to agree with your stance.

        Be a dick about it.

        You got many friends?

            it tracks that this place is home to the socially unaware and the illiterate
