It's a solid job. The benefits are great. The pay is decent. But for one <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/jobs/s/qHGRRoB2Wd">24-year-old garbage collector</a>, the hardest part of the work has nothing to do with lifting trash bins. It's answering the question, "What do you do for a living?"
In a now-viral Reddit post, the young man opened up about an unexpected emotional weight he's been carrying since becoming a full-time sanitation worker two years ago. "Should I be embarrassed about being a 24-year-old garbageman?" he asked.
The post exploded with nearly 40,000 upvotes and thousands of comments — many from strangers who assured him the shame he feels isn't his to hold.

The original poster explained that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46310118/gen-z-is-skipping-college-for-6-figure-trade-jobs-like-welding-and-plumbing-but-these-careers-now-have-the-highest-unemployment-rate">college was never in the cards</a>. Instead, he went to truck driving school, earned his commercial driver's license, and found a job collecting waste. At $24 an hour with benefits and job security, he says it's a role he could see himself in long-term — but there's still a nagging sense of inadequacy. "Whenever someone asks me what I do for work, I feel embarrassed," he wrote.
Commenters quickly pushed back. "You shouldn't be ashamed of having an honest job," one person wrote. Another called sanitation workers "rock stars," pointing out how they help prevent the spread of disease and keep entire communities functioning.
Some even challenged the job title itself: "You're not a garbage man," one wrote. "You're a sanitation engineer. You help keep cities alive."

According to the <a href="https://www.bls.gov/oes/2023/may/oes537081.htm">Bureau of Labor Statistics</a>, garbage collectors earn a median annual salary of roughly $46,000, with experienced workers in cities making closer to $60,000 or more. That's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45929823/the-salary-a-single-person-needs-to-live-comfortably-now-outweighs-median-annual-wages-in-all-50-states">not far off from the national average household income</a> — and the job comes with union protections and pensions in many places.
Others pointed out how rare it is to have any job at 24 that offers benefits, PTO, and a clear path forward. "There are a lot of 24-year-old losers who aren't doing anything with themselves," one comment read. "You aren't one of them. Hold your head up."
And just like that, the original poster said his perspective began to shift. "After reading a lot of comments, I'm definitely going to look at my career differently," he wrote in an edit. "You guys are right — picking up trash is pretty important."

Embarrassment doesn't always come from what we do. It often comes from how society treats certain jobs. But those same jobs — garbage collection, custodial work, delivery — often provide the backbone that keeps everything else going.
So no, there's no reason to be embarrassed. The real embarrassment would be letting someone else's opinion make you doubt your value.
And if you're still not convinced, ask anyone who's lived through a garbage strike just how "unimportant" sanitation workers really are.

$1000 Invested In Reinsurance Gr 5 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

A longtime nurse approaching retirement recently posted on Reddit that he felt &#8220;defeated and cooked&#8221; after discovering a coworker had $460,000 more saved in their 401(k).
He shared his financial situation on the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/retirement/comments/1lzq0dr/woefully_underprepared_at_age_59/">r/retirement</a> subreddit, noting that he and his wife have about $240,000 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45585378/do-you-have-an-upper-class-nest-egg-heres-what-the-top-20-have-saved-for-retirement-hint-its-less-than-youd-think">saved for retirement</a>, plus an anticipated $1,100 monthly pension, Social Security benefits between $1,800 and $2,300, and roughly $200,000 to $300,000 in other savings. &#8220;I absolutely can't grind out eight more years working full-time,&#8221; he said.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dissapointment</h2>
&#8220;I was feeling OK about my plan,&#8221; he wrote, &#8220;until talking with a coworker in the same salary range who has managed to save about $700,000 in his 401(k).&#8221;

</ul>
Many redditors urged the nurse to stop comparing himself to others. &#8220;Comparison is the thief of joy,&#8221; one commenter said. Another added, &#8220;You were fine until you found out someone else has more? You&#8217;re 59, not 9. Way past time to stop playing that childish game.&#8221;
Several pointed out that his pension is a valuable asset often overlooked. &#8220;That pension is huge,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;It may not sound like a lot, but you would need about $400,000 in savings to be able to withdraw $1,100 per month.&#8221;
Others focused on his emotional exhaustion. The nurse explained he could not imagine working full-time for another eight years, prompting many to suggest transitioning into a less physically demanding role like remote case management or a teaching role.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Most Americans Fall Short Of Retirement Goals</h2>
While <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/viewpoints/retirement/how-much-do-i-need-to-retire">Fidelity</a> recommends that Americans have eight times their salary saved by age 60, the reality for most people falls short. So while the nurse may not be hitting expert targets, he&#8217;s still <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46266572/heres-how-much-you-should-have-saved-for-retirement-by-40-50-or-60-are-you-ahead-of-the-curve-or-falling-behind">ahead of the typical American</a>.
Many commenters emphasized that retirement readiness comes down to spending, not just savings. &#8220;Your expenses drive how long you have to work,&#8221; one said. &#8220;What are your expected retirement expenses per month including health insurance? Know that and you can figure out how long you need to work.&#8221;
Some shared their own modest setups. One retired couple said they live well off a $2,900 pension, $1,100 Social Security check, and $200,000 in cash. Their monthly expenses total just $2,200, largely due to living in a low-cost area and owning a small home.

Another recurring tip: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46263095/my-bodys-getting-achier-every-day-disabled-veteran-with-7500-monthly-income-and-no-savings-should-he-retire-or-wait-3-more-years">test-drive their retirement</a> budget now. That means they should try living on what they&#8217;d expect to bring in each month during retirement. If they can live on it now, they can probably live on it then.
The nurse eventually responded to the outpouring of support and practical advice. &#8220;Thank you everyone for the advice and recommendations,&#8221; he wrote.&nbsp;
Fellow Redditors encouraged him to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">speak to a fee-only financial advisor</a> and to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-budgeting-apps">start tracking his monthly expenses</a> to create a concrete plan.
&#8220;It's useless [to] feel bad about what you were not able to accomplish in the past,&#8221; one nurse wrote. &#8220;Start learning today and figure out how you can make your dreams happen.&#8221;
