I’m one of those who don’t spend my money on anything except the essentials and splurge for trips and stuff. I don’t see a future any more, so I might as well enjoy whatever little I can get in this life.
That's what I've been seeing more of my millennial friend group doing. Basically said fuck saving for retirement. The world is going to shit before then.
So...their plan is to be destitute later in life?
Certainly heading that way by their actions. But flip side they think I'm saving for a retirement that won't be worth having because the environment will be collapsing.
I don't know what exactly the climate is going to look like in 30 years, but society is still going to exist. I deeply understand feeling sad about the state of the environment, but giving up is only going to make things worse for them in the future
That's what I keep telling them too. Plus reminding them flying is pretty bad for the environment.
