Dogecoin founder addresses retirement issues
Dogecoin ($DOGE) founder Billy Markus recently shared his thoughts on the current state of retirement savings among millennials on X. Marcus, who often draws the attention of his 2.1 million followers with a sarcastic tone, said Millennials would need about $1.65 million to retire comfortably, without citing a specific source for the data. He went on to sarcastically suggest that the current savings of Millennials may be as little as $62,600 - perhaps this number was chosen arbitrarily to illustrate that current inflation in the United States does not provide the most favorable environment for regular and large retirement savings. . However, Marcus added that millennials plan to retire at age 59, along with a "wry smile" emoji.

Retirement Challenges and Realities for Millennials
Considering that Millennials (the generation born between 1981 and 1996) are now 28 to 43 years old, those born in 1981 or later may have a hard time saving $1.65 million by age 59. This seemed to be the message Marcus wanted to convey, which triggered a heated discussion in the comment area. Many X users humorously agreed with Marcus' sentiments, or made the point that Millennials may need to retire about 10 years after age 59 or with less savings.
In addition, many people have raised the issue of current inflation and the growing national debt in the United States, which are adversely affecting the financial well-being of ordinary people. These discussions highlight how difficult it is for millennials to reach their $1.65 million savings target in the current economic climate.
