Around the world in 80 days... Damn. Someone should make a book with that title.

Alternate title: "Retirees with money travel".

Whoopty freaking doo -_-

Become that promise doesn't come true for many nowadays. Unless you already started out rich

Go see that football movie with that guy.

If I had said $100 a month people would have said Oh No We Can't Afford That! Investing 101 (it's a multi-year course so start early.) Hating capitalism is no reason not to pay attention to ways you could be one of the ones traveling in their 80s. It makes sense to try to change the world, but we also have no choice but to live in the world as it is: might as well make the best of it.

Everyone reads the full article before commenting here sir, this is not a Wendy's.

> Seems more like Boomer instagram than a news story

Wait who do you think runs the news outlets...? The news media is literally boomer instagram.

But can one really SEE the world in 80 days? I feel like there will be more missed opportunities and experiences.

Royal Caribbean cruise line just recently announced they are having a 180 day cruise around the world. I told my wife already we have 18 years but that is what my retirement gift to myself will be. Good for these women I hope at 80 I will still have a desire to travel.

I love how one stated this in the article "Don't sit in that chair and waste away," Hazelip said. "If you don't use it, you lose it." This is so true! I hope they have a wonderful time exploring the world.

All of her peers, parents and siblings are likely dead already. I wonder what that feels like.

Guess Keanu really isn't a fun guy

Wishing them both the best, enjoy this beautiful planet before it all turns to grey

Thelma & Louise in retirement.

by being priced out of buying a home they’ve already started planning for retirement by investing in a 401k plan, which is actually a better deal than buying a house especially with rates & prices so high. Sometimes the grass is greener. If they rented by themselves they definitely wouldn’t have been able to invest so much

They can't fucking afford to have their own place and you're flipping it as if living with your parents or 4 other flatmates is so much better than being able to rent your own apartment!

You know, I think homeless people are the luckiest, they spend all their day outdoors, in the sun, doing absolutely nothing and they have no worries what an amazing lifestyle don't you think?

I don't want to wait that long

SAME! Perhaps the hosts/organizers are in the will? (LOL)

What bees?

It should. Look at the bees.

I didnt say anything about the silent generation..

80 for Brady

point is they are clearly aren’t suffering financially, just a common misconception. Most young people either live at home with parents or flatshare with other people, so they have more disposable income to spend on stuff

You're spinning it as if gen Z were making a lot of money, the oldest ones are 26 if they have $20k savings it means they've been saving all their income very heavily and living frugally.

How do you think 18 to 26 years old can afford luxury items?

• If they didn't do any studies and worked at 18 it means that they are spending above their means.
• If they did studies they are just finishing the education so have no money either

The most likely case is that their families are wealthy to beggin with and advertising has become much better at targeting them than it was with millenials.
