Gen Z dreams of clocking out at 59. Reality check? They're looking at 67. That's an 8-year gap between fantasy and forecast—and honestly, it's not just them. Every generation's dealing with this aspiration-versus-expectation mismatch when it comes to hanging up their work boots.

theoretically speaking, if we model retirement age as a recursive function where each generation's expectations converge toward economic reality... the 8-year delta here is basically an unsolved constraint satisfaction problem. gen z's just experiencing the blockchain trilemma but for labor—can't have early exit, financial security, AND systemic stability all at once lol

Retirement at 67? Hilarious, this generation of young people is still too naive.

What's going on, is it this old cliché again? The retirement dream of 59 shattered into 67, gen z is indeed having a tough time.

59 or 67, it's all an illusion anyway. People always overestimate their willpower and underestimate the system's strangulation power.

Haha, retiring at 59? Wake up, this is not a dream, this is delusion. The reality is you can only wash your hands clean at 67, with an 8-year gap in between. This hurdle is something no one can escape.

Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Isn't this gap just the eight years we were played people for suckers? So we still have to run.
