No. Every time I try to save any kind of money, shit happens and I have to burn through my meager savings to fix it.

That's just bad planning. Just consider the money spent, as if you didn't have it. You're already putting off doing some things due to a lack of funds, right? So you already know how to not spend money when you think you need to.

You might want to fix that or you'll be fucked and it's subtle but you'll be in hell with no retirement money.

not really. A small amount of money (1% or so) is involuntarily taken from my military injury pay and put into a government retirement account. I should be doing more but I don't care to

What retirement? I'm on NEETbux and hoping for UBI before I die in what is hopefully the next 20 years.
In any case, fiat money is a scam and it's devalued all the time. Yes, muh investing, but I have nothing to invest with, other than three gold coins I bought which barely appreciate in value, even if it does beat the scam called inflation.

No. Trust fund kid. I just have to not kill myself. Which is becoming harder and harder to do.

I don't know but people around me think I deserve a job. I don't know what kind though.

Yeah but not a lot
The cost of living is rising so much faster than how much I can possibly save I'll probably work until I die, and the fucking boomers haven't even really started dragging us down fiscally yet

SSI exists. Everybody gets to retire in the USA, even if they NEET'd their way to 65, they still get to retire.

The gold won't appreciate unless your currency falls, but they will always have their value as money.
Assuming you can find a buyer you want something from, of course. Gold is wealth but you can't eat it if the system collapses.
