"Take Harlan Crider, of Elverson, Pa.: He’s 79, and he’s still putting in about 40 hours a week doing property assessments. He’d rather retire, but he owes $400 a month on loans he took out to help pay for his son’s college."Hmmmm. Needs $400. Works 40 hours/week x 4 weeks/month. He's making $2.50/hr?
Maybe he likes working and is paying for the kid's college to get around the death tax.
