What's a phrase you hear a lot, but disagree with?

One that comes to mind for me: "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

people talking about not being old enough to retire.

Retirement is a function of finance not age.

You can't take money from certain funds like 401k before reaching certain age without paying hefty penalty tho

Not to mention social security. "Not old enough to retire" is extremely literally true for many people.

There are parts of the world where it is a function of age, or at least of the number of years you've been working, because the government will pay you a pension after you worked and paid taxes this many years.
