>but the choice will become harder once my relative's retirement accounts die.
That's something i start to fear about. Both my parents are retired and they rely 100% on their public pensions, like most boomers.
For now they are eating good, but for how long? My country's gubment is a total failure, it just collapsed again today, and we change of prime minister every few months. Do you know why? Because the EU refuse to accept our budget for 2026 each time it's being presented. Deficit spendings are too large, our debt unserviceable. So the (((EU commission))) is pushing for the IMF (and Goldman Sachs) to take control over french budget, while our finance ministers resign even faster than our PMs, because no one want to be left with the task of telling the frogs they are about to get the 2011 greek treatment.
Nearly half of the entire annual budget is being spent only on boomers' retirement & healthcare. And the politicians/banksters know they can't raise taxes even a bit, because we already are the most taxed country on earth (47%). So the only option left is to reduce spendings where they can. And pensions are the easy target here. They either are planning to kill millions of boomers, or the pensions will have to be drastically reduced. Like a 50-60% haircut to meet (((IMF)))'s standards.
When (not if) that happen, i fear i'll be asked to support too many boomies on my own. Even my parents will be way, way too much for me when i see their lifestyle. They go to holidays all around the world at least 6 times/year in 5 stars hotels and luxury airb&b, but i myself only eat instant noodles to afford a bit of silber lol...
