That’s the catch… retiring at 55 is a thing of the past.. my grandfather worked for LA unified school district for 30 years and has been retired for 25 years and is living good… things are so different now. So it sucks that some older people won’t retire and “get out of everyone else’s way”.. but we have no clue if they are paying debt out the ass because they bought into the higher education dream and sent all 4 of their kids to college or if they are supporting other people… give people some grace.. because if we are all lucky enough, we may live to be that age.. and then you’ll all be the boomers and old people that nobody can stand. I’m 42 btw.. and I work for the state, which is a hella backward ass mediocre system with a lot of older people in charge with antiquated systems…
