Life Expectancy - I feel mine declining every day.
Definitely important to retire by 66. Assuming you start working at 18, this gives you 48 years of wage slavery, and for males just 8 years of retirement before you hit 74 and croak, a 6:1 ratiio.

Do you believe in wage slavery because that is what you considered yourself to be during your working years, or because it is more of an intellectual concept that you enjoy going on about?
Are those who work for a wage, and consider it fair compensation for the satisfaction and compensation they take from it, really wage slaves? Or just the slaves who live in da big house, and have it better?
Monday I start working part time at $19.50 an hour. Stock work in a retail establishment. I started collecting my social security several months ago. My savings are pale compared to the dentist in the article but at least I have some. Point being, while I will be collecting a wage. I am far from being a slave.
I have been stuck at home through the pandemic and now I have a job that I will not have to think about when I am not working. The pay is enough to make it worth my while and some physical activity within limits is good for me. It may be a good fit for now. The situation looks good. I'll give them good work and they treat me well. It is a friendly place. If it does not work out to be that way I can take the job and shove it.
I am not to be confused with someone who is highly educated but who is having to stoop to being a barista or something because they have no choice and are doing it just to get by. I am educated, but better you confuse me with a man who is doing the **** he wants to do. The Trotsky in this bunch, I am. But now I have an employer and I am an employee. I give them work they give me money. Mutual responsibilities. That would be true under any economic arrangement where money is paid. If I show up Monday and there is a picket line I won't cross it, but looks to be unlikely.
