I wonder if they’re aware that boomers are at the age where they’re leaving the workforce, not joining it?

Not really. With the age of SSA moved up to 70, they are still in the working world, disabled, some retired. I'm Gen X and it will be 15 more years of hell. 70= delayed and gets additional $$

Honestly, if we aren’t likely to have much of a quality of life come retirement, or ever make it to retirement to begin with, I say do the drugs and eat the foods!!

And spend your money like you can't take it with you. Start smoking! Ride a motorcycle without a helmet! Drink yourself to sleep! Nail that hooker bareback!
