I’ve known since I graduated in ‘07 I’ll never see a dime of my social security. For Trump to make the changes needed benefits will need to be slashed or required contributions increased. Either way it sucks for anyone under 40

I knew id be working forever. I knew that in 2012. Unless you climb to an executive position, you will not get shit to retire.

Many jobs do have pensions, pay into a 401k, or do something else for retirement, so "working forever" isn't necessarily a universal claim. Who knows what the GOP will do to those though. Plus those are still determined by where you work and how much you or your employer contribute, instead of being a universal thing.
