The “quiet quitters” are mostly sponging off other people who still work. Maybe some of them have earned enough in their lifetime to retire early, but I suspect they’re far from the majority.
I’ve earned enough to retire at 51. Not genZ age though.
But I will milk the way I take my money out to maximize gov’t handouts. I’ve paid in more in a year in taxes (some years) than most will ever pay in their lifetime. So I don’t care. The system needs to be broken to end this nonsense.
