When can Mario retire? | Unraveled

“When you say crucial do you mean optional” I felt that
*”I googled Mario hyperinflation, and I got some exciting search results”* oh god
sometimes I wish I was Jared, 19.
@Weaponized Pizza let’s play “see how many people don’t get the reference”
the best bdg punchlines are when the video ends with him realizing he kins the video subject
JUST WHEN I WAS RUNNING OUT OF QUARANTINE CONTENT THANK CHRIST
Oh, so not just me?
Then you need to head over to Kitboga.
Thank me later
if you haven’t checked out critical role, i think their first campaign in 120 episodes and the eps are like 4 hours each LOL. I wish you the best in these times. <3
Unraveled, more like “BDG Has A Mental Breakdown: The Show”
BDG unraveling.
What do you think the title referred to? It is of course his fragile sanity
“Because God has cursed me for my hubris, and my work is never finished”
“I’ve never seen anything so sad” Jesus Christ; I don’t think I laughed that hard in a while.
I love how every single one of these videos starts out “normal”, but as the video progresses, Brian slowly descends deeper into madness
You could even say it unravels.
@Eptalin you madman
The real question is what are we are we unraveling: the subject of the video or Brian? I think the answer is both
“Man stuck in video game lore hell.”
Never change, BDG.
As of this video, looks like he may never get the chance…
Oh no my cheap gag made me sad. 🙁
“If you never die then you can never retire.” This is false. There’s a concept in financial planning called the 4% rule. If you can live off of 4% of what you currently have in a 50/50 stock/bond split, it should last as long as the stock market is a thing. Technically, as long as it has reached the number you need to live off of 4%, then you should be able to maintain your standard of living even through bear markets (even if you just got to your retirement amount right before the bear market).
Also, now’s a great time to start saving if you can manage it. The stock market is on sale. If you’re curious to learn more, I recommend looking into “financial independence retire early” or FIRE as some people call it.
I understand that many people can not afford such a thing, and I wish you the best of luck in these trying times. Also, be politically active and don’t let your representatives cut or try to eliminate social security. They keep saying “we can’t afford it” so that eventually a bunch of voters will grow up believing it so they can cut it and not refund the money they forced you to save (but that they gladly used to bail out banks and other corporations at basically no interest). SS will keep countless elderly out of poverty, and be very valuable to those still in poverty.
@Oskar Evans Agreed. Medicare for all and Social Security for all!
But at the same time there will inevitably come a day the stock market will cease to be
@Bonezee I only hope that it signals a transition to something better for all of society when the time comes, and hopefully if that is so that I’m alive to see it.
Brian in the video that made him get a job at Polygon: “I love Polygon, I love when you make funny videos, videos that calm me down and put me at ease.”
Brian in this video: Gets me to question everything and get nervous about retiring and worry about him
@M. Ivy Luna Build up to about 1/3rd of your salary. Avoid lifestyle inflation. You will be fine. All the very best.
“a grown man tries to figure out a cartoon character’s financial future and in doing so has an existential crisis”
I love how he avoiding mentioning that the person he was talking about with the financial advisor is a fictional character. It is pretty brilliant.
“If mario can’t retire then that would mean I wo-”
Enters : midlife crisis
I’m so glad I can see nothing wrong, but I dread to fathom what twisted things go on inside your mind.
@Nicole lukens I think he can keep the coins he collects, but he isnt paid traditionally.
@Not Spoiler At All It’s just Mario and Luigi, but they’re doing their best.
@Unknow0059 Their children pick up the slack or they end up in the cheapest retirement home they can find where they die from neglect. Yeah the US doesn’t take care of its elderly.
Wouldn’t notice? That was pretty easy to notice, IMO.
His idea of retirement isn’t realistic though. People don’t just save every dollar they have in a savings account and live off it when they retire. Instead, they invest it in a pension, 401k, or some IRA and live off a percentage of the money made from it. For instance, if you had an IRA with $360k that went up 10% every year, you’d live off of 10% every year giving you $36k like he was saying in the vid. Investments are definitely weird but givin enough time putting in they can make serious $$$
BoyzHub hyper inflation >~>
@Unknow0059 my mom’s “retired” living with my brother and his family. Sometimes she gets upset with them because they don’t give her an allowance.
@Mac Kobalt mario but as a balloon. ding-dong is string. i am sorry
Oh no he forgot to account for the extra lives >_>
Castlevania enemies flashbacks
It’s like they made a joke about that or something. Weird, right?
@Mac Kobalt oh my pure sweet summer child. You couldn’t even imagine the depths of the void that is the corruption of the internet.
