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:

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."
