Not disagreeing, but not agreeing either. Remember Johnny did beat the devil. Also during biblical times what was the measure of wealth? Not just ownership but slave ownership/servants if I am not mistaken. In order to retire comfortably one must save and invest. Sad that simple bank savings can't do the job.

eh i kinda interpret the good book a bit different than most, i'm willing to admit.

but when Christ said "give unto caesar what is caesar'" i don't think he was implication a laissez-faire attitude towards government and/or taxes.

i think he was saying "don't give them anything because they don't earn it". i guess my definition of "comfortable" is different than most. i know that changes when you age; but there's a lot of silver spooners here lol.

what is one saving and investing? are we all supporting an evil synagogue of satan? i think so.

Far be it from my to criticize one's faith! Glad you have it, faith in God is something many of us struggle with and are short of. Money can do great things, it can do horrible things too. For now I have a little faith in the markets, but my timeframe has been pushed out a few years.

i'm not sure anyone my age plans on "retiring" whatever that mean. pensions aren't a thing unless you work for state, it's just a different game. that's why they are able to trap so many young people with massive college debt, entice them with get rich schemes like day trading on the market or crypto, etc.

those things seem more attainable for people my age, so they take those chances. but imo most of that is a losing game if you are planning long term because of the extreme volatility (crypto obviously the worst), aside from the fact that we know basically nothing about it and who owns it. not to mention there's a debate on whether it could lead to cheaper energy prices or ridiculously expensive energy prices, etc etc.

i dunno, my great grandpa died the day he stopped working. i'm trying to draw it out a bit so it won't be so harsh.
