The way we talk about money is bizarre to me. I mean, work for forty years to make sure I'm taken care of when I'm old? There's no guarantee I'm gonna be old. And to look at all the struggling pensioners right now, there's no guarantee I'm gonna be taken care of either. It all sounds like a scheme to me.
This is so fucking true, and it's something that I think about a lot:)

As we all should! I don't know what it's like in the UK, but here, many old people barely get a couple hundred pounds (equiv.) to survive with in a month. It's the most demeaning thing. It's also saddening to see that a lot of young people know this but fail to see the correlation with their own (potentially) dire future in the service of a system that doesn't give a toss about them.
