Forum Post: Future

I don't understand how people can keep telling my generation to plan for the future when NOONE can give us ANY idea what kind of future we should be planning for, we should be saving more for retirement, but don't make as much as our parents did, doing the same jobs, you can't live off of minimum wage, without gov't assistance, so how are you supposed to save ANYthing. the world is nothing but a keg of black powder and the fuse has been lit now it's only a matter of time before everything goes KABOOM, if earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, or floods don't get you first
