Yeah, amazing how far we have become from need and want... Good Lord, I rent a beautiful home, eat good nutritious food, have water/electricity/gas at my fingertips, and freedom to do about anything I wish... I have a level of luxury kings could not have imagined just a few generations removed, and should kiss the ground that I was fortunate enough to be born into and live in a rich nation. Oh yeah, I do all of this on about $19k/year.
Good old "scare the shit outa you" reporting, and "real" retirement means keep at that soul killing job, then it's bloated luxury vacations, you better be doing something but "wasting" your time fishing, be fully entertained AT ALL TIMES, buy a goddamn uber pretentious luxury home and clown car because you deserve it, and continue by all means to spend, spend, spend. Eff the WSJ, and the shell of their former selves.
