They really are so negative, literally telling themselves “you will never be a millionaire”.
I mean even if you make $50k a year, never get a raise more than inflation, and only contribute 5% of your income to retirement and your company offers no 401k match you will have about $1m in a retirement account when you retire at 67 if you started at 22, which is the typical college grade starting salary. Pair in the fact that by then you should also own a home, the average person in the USA should absolutely be a millionaire by retirement.
I don’t know what it is. Being lazy? Just a negative attitude toward life? Resentment that others are able to do it but they can’t, for who knows what reason? I think this is the first time in history we actually have people pushing for a politician because they know they can’t succeed themselves and need others to provide for them. They say they will never retire because they are currently in their mid to late 20s and still barely make $14 an hour. How? I was making $17 an hour back when I was a college freshman sorting packages at a warehouse for extra money on the side. It’s like they have no ambition to go out and find opportunity, they would rather stick around at their dead end job and bitch and moan.
It's actually not that unrealistic or even difficult for a married couple who started off with no money to retire with $10 million if they don't hyperconsume.
What do you expect? Their entire platform is built on celebration of personal failure and stealing everything of value from anything successful.

That’s our goal! Key is to find a way to have some passive income as well.
Having a military pension will help too. We’re trying to semi-retire before 50 with a self-sufficient homestead in the country somewhere.
