Yes, follow advice about investing and 401ks and such. Its your ownly way of surviving in the imperialist powers.

That being said, say goodbye to any investments you have after the revolution.

My thought process is: play the system, try to retire as best as I can, and the best outcome in life is when all my money is evaporated after the revolution outlaws business gambling. At least under socialism I know I’ll actually be taken care of, most likely better than a meger retirement under capitalism would.

You more or less don’t have a choice if you want to have a sliver of hope of retiring (or maybe dealing with one (1) medical emergency) in . Whoever decided to replace pensions with 401(k)s should [redacted].

Sure, do what you can to better yourself under capitalism while simultaneously fighting for socialism. Remember the stock market is basically gambling though, and it’s probably fucked in the near future as the empire collapses. Maybe invest in precious metals or something? I know the market’s kind of rigged, but it might get better as more people buy in to avoid disaster? Idk.

Yes. This may be the last remaining lib in me speaking, but please figure out some investing.

It’s the closest porky will get to revealing some secrets, and as long as you don’t do any rent-seeking behavior, go ahead. Your survival should be more important than ideology. Right now I’m trying to get myself to learn porkspeak and act on porky’s tricks. Whether it be networking LITERALLY just for an entry-level job, what equity is and how to properly invest. Right now, me getting off my feet and claiming the adulthood porky robbed from me is more important than sticking to my guns. I’ll play along just enough to keep my head down but still keep reading theory and preparing for the worst.
