FUCK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT!

50. Single payer would be a prograssive tax.

A very healthy, young, white (race is unimportant, but it plays into the metric) would be paying a lot more than any other bracket comparatively. There used to be a calculator but it's no longer available as far as I can tell. Employers, under single payer, take the brunt of the cost, but it'd still be costly for workers at my income bracket (50k or thereabouts).

Being retired is perhaps a misnomer for most people, I saved up the past decade, every penny I could, even if it meant eating rice and beans for months at a time. I literally had no life. But I can safely say I'm retired because I have land and a home and can live there the rest of my life without worrying, for the most part, about outside expenses (property taxes and whatnot not withstanding). I haven't yet adopted the "retired at 35 lifestyle" because right now I am living with my brother. And I luckily put some money in some stocks I was lucky as hell to choose wisely (TSLA), but as it stands now I am doing pretty good. I can't say my roadmap was some sort of American dream, I just saw some variables and chose them. Savings should be everyones priority though and not using credit, it's the only true way to get ahead, even if savings doesn't follow inflation, you will wind up with something other than nothing.
