Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

There's still hope, I just recently bought a home just after turning 40. You just need to put a ton of money into savings, go bankrupt paying medical bills after something bad happens to your spouse, spend 7 years in borderline poverty, and then have one of your parents die the same month they retire and collect their retirement fund.
I hate that the best thing my father ever gave me was his pension.
Calling my pops now. Letting him know the plan.
Our 85 y/o dad is pretty much our only hope for a retirement fund. Only problem is that his parents and relatives all lived to between 95 and 105. And I’m already nearly 50.
People spent years trying to work out why life expectancy in Okinawa was so high. Turns out it's their high rate of pension fraud.
Yep, no hope lol
Can't afford anything at all on a single income. :(
just need both parents to die
I can just sleep in my car.
Slightly better than my path.
I bought a house this year, also age 40. To get there, I took a job with a large soulless corporation that is slowly destroying all of us, and then borrowed against all my retirement to get my down payment money.
I just keep saying, “At least I have a house…”
Hey now, I banked $30K in cash and bought a house, all I had to do was have a heart attack, open heart surgery, and move to 100% work from home. 😉
3 years after I stopped driving to the office, paying $21 a day to park, and eating out all the damn time... boom! $30K in the bank!
RTO is the worst thing to happen to the business world since open floor desks.
I’ll never own a home. And I have no family. My only retirement plan is to die before I need to retire.
