Lori Rodriguez, a 27-year-old communications professional in New York City, is not saving for retirement, and it isn’t necessarily because she can’t afford to — it’s because she doesn’t expect it to matter.
Like many people her age, Rodriguez believes climate change will have catastrophic effects on our planet. Some 88% of millennials — a higher percentage than any other age group — accept that climate change is happening, and 69% say it will impact them in their lifetimes. Engulfed in a constant barrage of depressing news stories, many young people are skeptical about saving for an uncertain future.
“I want to hope for the best and plan for a future that is stable and secure, but, when I look at current events and at the world we are predicting, I do not see how things could not be chaotic in 50 years,” Rodriguez says. “The weather systems are already off, and I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to be a little apocalyptic.”

Lori Rodriguez, a 27-year-old communications professional in New York City, is not saving for retirement...
To say nothing of the fact that she's picked a place with one of the highest costs of living in the US, and hence, since she states she can afford to put monty away in her 401K but chooses not to, means A) she's stopid, B) she plans to vote for Universal Basic Income any way she can, and C) she's grossly overpaid for whatever it is she does.
Wow, that many typos means A) time to clean the glasses and B) time to go to bed.
what kind of morons have losses in today’s UP economy ???
serious whiney baby sh*t there
“communications professional”. She has facebook account, a twitter account, a snapchat account, an instagram account, has a blog and uses “whatsap” and any other available latest electronic medium thus———’communications professional’
This might be why our young people aren’t having children too. They were abused by their ‘teachers’...
Those of us who are older and were NOT forced to sit in classrooms with sadistic liberal ‘teachers’ pushing doom and hopelessness might have a hard time understanding this level of indoctrination.
‘Teachers’ taught death, despair, and hopelessness - in a saner world these teachers would be arrested, tried and imprisoned for crimes against the young.
