In this episode, we dive into the looming question of our "golden years." While we briefly considered a pivot to an entire episode on the acoustics of a "trumpet fart," we eventually settled on the financial and existential dread of retirement.

Highlights include:

1. The Millennial/Gen Z Reality: Why many assume the world will blow up before they ever see a social security check.
2. The "Neighborhood Dog" Philosophy: Reframing retirement as becoming the 19-year-old archaic dog that the entire community feeds scraps to just to keep it going for one more day.
3. The 100-Kid 401k: Is having enough children to ensure one becomes a millionaire a more "rider or die" plan than the stock market?
4. Shantrell-la: A retirement fantasy involving memory loss, a caring adult child, and the daily surprise reveal of being filthy rich.
5. The Spite Factor: Why some people work until the end just to put "nasty-gram" flyers on windshields in the Walmart parking lot.
6. The $3 Million Math: Attempting to ballpark the cost of living for 30 years post-career, ranging from luxury Malibu models to living in a literal boxcar.
