[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the person who said he needs to get a job at McDonalds it is very hard for seniors to get jobs. My 64 year old, ex-lawyer mother applied at craft stores, book stores, etc. and never got any call backs. [/quote]

Why can't she just keep being a lawyer at 64?  Plenty of lawyers at that age who are not retired and don't have to look for jobs at craft stores.[/quote]

She is smarter than most lawyers and (like me) retired to get out (at 58 in my case).  :wink: [/quote]

The point of retiring is not having to look for a job or working ever again.  She should have kept working as a lawyer if she has to look for a job in craft stores at 64.

-signed a lawyer who retired at 56.[/quote]

No -- the point of retiring is having the freedom to do whatevvvva in the heck you want to do which might include working at a craft store[/quote]

Right -- we all aspire to be the greeter at Walmart during retirement.  Not.[/quote]
