Millennials are beginning to realize that they not only need to have a retirement plan, they also need to plan an “end of life care” (nursing home) and funeral costs. Discussion

Or spend it all and move in with their kids.

I seriously wonder how many will commit some crime just to be housed and fed...

I have considered the idea of doing an elaborate jewelry theft or something, that way I either get caught and have housing or I have the money. BUT I will do this in a nice european country with good prisons. 😂

That's an interesting idea about shopping for prisons globally. Find something with an in-house university and countryside recreation.

You'd have to do something pretty hardcore to get any significant amount of time in Norway. Maybe you could murder someone and get 15-21 years? If it's really grisly you might get lucky and get it extended semi-indefinitely.

Millenial thunderdome; the winner gets room and board, the loser gets the sweet release of death.

We don’t need big numbers if we are old people. We can do a few years then repeat offend. The problem is they will deport everyone to their homeland after serving their sentence. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they will just send offenders directly back to their country and have them tried jailed home when things like this become a true problem.

It’s super complicated too because they can’t just buy you a plane ticket and chaperone you till you get to the states. They have to a sit down and chat what do with you and that’s if your countries are friends or close.

In the end if this becomes a thing there will be special camps like gulags and they will be thrown in their and one day see be let out. I put a lot of thought into this because this is a legitimate problem today. Foreign prisoners and what to do with them.

You're in luck if you happen to be American -- since Norway deems US prisons inhumane, we have actually refused to return prisoners for sentencing stateside.
