But I wonder how many of these men saved for their own retirement (401Ks and whatnot) and were secure to retire when they did.
I'm one. I've been retired for 6 years and am 60 years old now.
I left behind coworkers who were old enough to receive social security but said they couldn't afford to retire because s.s. wasn't enough because they still had mortgage pymts, kids student loans,credit card debt etc.,they will probably work until they die, I have no pity for them.
I did. That's why I retired at 60.
