“If you want to retire if you are 47, apparently teaching is not the place to go,” Owens said. “The least Terri could do is provide a list of places other people could go so they can retire when they are 47.”

Army, Air Force. Navy or Marines. Of course, we do have our standards...

There are a few other categories. US Foreign Service. Air traffic controllers.

I think that’s about it.

AMEN!!!!!
But, then again, some people are born to Biatch, others Biatch ALL the time, then you have a combination of both.

My ex wife (43 yrs) has run into a so called ‘problem’ that is made for and designed for people like her.

When going to grandkids baseball games the local area(s) allow Seniors in for free (only a $5 charge but still, free is free).
I normally (jokingly) make a statement like “You aren’t going to charge me are you?” get a laugh and an ‘OF Course not’ and I will quip back - “Well you are welcome for thanking me for my service” and go about my business.

The ex won’t ask or ‘remind’ them that she is pushing 70 - NO she doesn’t look anywhere near 60 - so she gets to gripe that she has to pay etc.

That said, IF ‘they’ were to ‘ASK’ her if she were a SR, the “Well, the nerve of them” comes rolling out.

SO, she has the perfect storm and a built in Biatch at least twice a week.

More than a few of the ‘ticket takers’ have told me that they are subject to ‘verbal abuse’ etc when they ‘assume’ one is a Senior so they tend to let the people inform her, no matter how ‘obvious’....

Oh, one of my responses when I have to point it out is
“You must be running for office to assume I am not 60”.

Also many fire and police department unions allow for retirement at 47 with some fine lifetime benefits.
