By definition, Millennials are currently between the ages of 29 and 39.

As a result, their days of dreaming about what their lives would be like when they become adults are arguably over, and they now have a sense of their career path and family plans.

That doesn't mean they don't often think about their future, including the always touchy subject of retirement.

Specifically, the long and uncertain roads that will lead them there.

Redditor alphaDsony was eager to hear the retirement plans of millennials, leading them to ask:

"Millennials, what's y'all plan for retirement?"

With multiple recessions, a global pandemic, and AI taking over jobs, millennials haven't had the easiest job market to find steady employment.

Being dependent on the gig economy and with the continued existence of social security now a huge question mark, the question most millennials ponder is less "when" they will retire than "if."

AOC Uses Midterm Election To Perfectly Explain Where 'Millennial Cringe' Comes From To Gen Z

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez broke down where so-called "millennial cringe" comes from to Gen Z voters after Democrats swept midterm election races to win back both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate in a clear repudiation of the Trump administration.

The term "millennial cringe" has gained popularity among Gen Z to mock the optimistic Internet culture of the 2010s. Ocasio-Cortez said "millennial cringe" is understandable when you consider the impact millennials had by electing Barack Obama, who became the nation's first Black president.

In Texas, the election between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton in the race for the U.S. Senate was over before Election Day even hit because Talarico received more early votes than Paxton received in total.
