It makes me sad that even now people are working way past retirement just to survive what are supposed to be the golden years of their lives. I work a physical job with guys twice and a half my age who have no business being out here but simply can't afford to leave. Meanwhile hotshot lawyer here is some kind of hero just for keeping his desk warm. You want to keep doing what you love? Bully for you. Some guys die without something to keep them busy. Me? I'll be happy to die at 75 if I can finally live a decade or two comfortably away from the daily grind. I don't even want to think about how bad off my generation will be when (if?) we get that old. Great title by the way. Thought I was on The Onion.
