    “Fink was refreshingly blunt that it’s not hard to figure out why millennials and Gen Z workers are economically anxious. “They believe my generation — the Baby Boomers — have focused on their own financial well-being to the detriment of who comes next. And in the case of retirement, they’re right,” he said.”

    Yes!

    “While Fink correctly identified a key problem, his proposed solution wasn’t to bring back pension plans. It was a new BlackRock product that helps people better manage their retirement spending. In other words, it’s a way for BlackRock to likely make more money.”

    No.

      This is basically the current stage of capitalism. If by the end by some miracle you accrued some wealth, they’ll make sure to grab it so there’s no inheritance left.

      Sell your house and buy into a retirement community, then a retirement home, and after that poke and prod you in a hospital for months on end to extend your life for a few weeks.

        Privatized Healthcare and nursing homes. If I had kids I’d just intentionally overdose on heroin before I ended up in such “care” situations.

      You motherfucker.

      The advice for a “managing” a 401(k) is to just put money into it and ignore it- there’s literally no managing required. The problem is this was never good enough and you god damn parasitic leeches want to take even that pittance away.
