67.5 is I guess what the retirement age will be to collect "social security." So only another 30 and change years, on top of the 16 I've been in my field. I pray I can work from 2008 to 2054 and that my job doesn't disappear into nothingness, that or the world ends. Working forever is unfortunately not the worst case scenario!
My grandfather, great guy, loved him, but I don't remember him working, ever. He retired when I was very young, maybe four or five. Back when the retirement age was 55. Full pension, call it a day. It's just crazy to me. 67.5 will be the retirement age, and I'm just hopeful I'll be lucky enough to take advantage.
I am a stenographer. I cover board meetings with lots of people speaking about moderately technical subjects. I do my best work when I can watch a hockey game while I listen to what people say. When the night wears on and fatigue starts to set in, having a distraction like that is a huge help.
I agree with you to an extent, but, like, what about my local farm that pasture raised pigs and cows and, yes, eventually slaughters them, how do they compare to what I think everyone agrees are terrible, the meat processing plants of the Midwest?
