    Then maybe she shouldn’t have retired?

    I’m not under any illusion that I’m going to retire, there’s actually a pretty good chance I’ll be dead before hitting that age.

      The smarter ones already know this and won’t leave. It’s putting even more pressure on the younger generations who can’t get promoted into better positions, which will further compound, screwing their opportunity at retirement too. This shit is not sustainable.

        Sounds like me waiting for an 80 year old to retire so that I can get a full time position at my job instead of just a “part time” one working 40hours a week

      The people in the first story are on a single SS payment, because the husband is 57. But the guy retired when he was 45.

      Seriously, this is their own damn fault.
