Let me know how your gig economy retirement plan goes. May you never have an accident on job. May you never need healthcare. I don’t see much future in such gig economy jobs. Our grandparents often worked for the same company all their lives. Your gig economy is a one way trap with no exit or promotional path. You have the equivalent of a fancy summer college kid job, but it’s not a career path.

Imagine a world where people were provided free health care, a benefits system, good employee rights and state pensions! Oh wait, it already exists in most of Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

Did you read the comment? They have healthcare and said there's $500-$1000 leftover each month, which is a healthy amount for retirement investment. More than enough to max out a Roth IRA. That's on top of social security too.
