You don’t see 80 year olds bagging groceries because they’re bored, I’ll tell you that.
Oh I don't know. My sister retired at the age of 50 after working for 33 years for Rochester Telephone. She had no outside interests, no hobbies, got bored, and decided to go work at the local grocery store. She certainly didn't need the money, and all she did was bitch about how the managers wouldn't bother to properly supervise the younger workers, and continually relied on the older employees because they could be counted on. Even when she got into her 60's, she had to have something else to do so she started volunteering at one of the hospitals just to fill in her time. Some people just don't know how to enjoy retirement, and some people just can't accept being on their own without having outside stimulus. I know there are plenty of retired people who need the extra cash to survive. I thank my lucky stars that I'm not one of them. Been divorced since '79, my kids moved out long ago, didn't have an IRA and don't have any savings. Thankfully, my pension and social security provide for my needs, and I love my privacy and solitude.
There is not a waking moment when I am not worried about how to cope with all the bills and taxes . I fear this anxiety will accompany me to the grave ,
Trash dumpster is 30 yards away from my apt - I can see them and there are people from 25-75 years old in and out of there all day and night.
Helluva motivation - I will tell you that.
I’ll be 70 3 months, I have to make the hard choice of paying for VISION or DENTAL both which will cost Thousands of $$ each, despite the fact we have Medicare/Tricare Life. VISION wins.
NEITHER ARE COVERED SERVICES.
