Good. It's about time they started paying for their Social Security.

Who would want to retire and winter in Florida that wants to keep on living?

I love being retired. If I thought I had to get up and go to Walmart or Home Depot every day I would die.

I take classes and do volunteer work and eat out(a lot).

My working days are over.

What's this "start" stuff? I have been paying social security since 1960.

You need some of those business cards some retired friends have:

Bears their name and phone #, and "Call me if you need nothing done." :)

Have more children. They can be produced by unskilled labor that mostly enjoys the work.

I love retirement, but I have neighbors and friends who can't stand "hanging around" the house all day. For them, jobs like these are perfect.

Every senior (and I mean over 40 employee) my company has recruited in the last 10 years, has done twice the work of any junior we've tried to 'train'.

And I'm NOT kidding.

Ireland used to have a fantastic education system (actually, I think we still do..to some degree), but people are coming out now with 'first class honours degree' qualifications that wouldn't see them fit to butter bread.

I dunno...give me a hack with a bit of experience, and years on their shoulders, and I'd give them a job over ANY 'graduate'.
