I'll admit that some of them need the money, but a fair few of them are doing it just because (like they feel like they'll have nothing to do if they're not working). For instance, my grandfather, all up with a cozy pension still worked a few hours a week at a funeral home up until he had a huge heart attack this year, a job that i could have had as a little side-affair through college. There are more like him, occupying more lucrative positions, occupying space that they don't need to occupy and taking food out of my mouth. Hiring managers are just cruel. |
Consider the alternative for the elderly ... How much does it cost for someone to retire at 60/65 and live until they're 80/85 compared to retiring at 70+ and dying at 80/85? Where do you think this money comes from?
Regardless of the source of the income, someone who is being paid and not working is causing someone else to work and not be paid; so them retiring will lower your income and/or increase your costs directly or indirectly.
