35 and Panicking: Can't Afford to Retire Until 70+ 😰

Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here and need some perspective 😔 I just turned 36 and had a reality check that hit me like a truck. After crunching the numbers, I realized I probably won't be able to retire until I'm well into my 70s, maybe even 75. My 401k is embarrassingly low, and with inflation eating away at everything, I feel like I'm running on a hamster wheel going nowhere. Seeing that statistic about only 8% of people my age planning to retire by 67 made me feel less alone, but also terrified. Are we all just doomed to work forever? 😭 I'm losing sleep over this and don't know where to start. Have any of you been in this situation? How did you turn things around? I'm open to any advice, side hustles, or just words of encouragement right now. Thanks for listening 💙 #JobCareer #Career #RetirementPlanning
