I agree with those who "infer" that folks who are in the +/- 60 year range and are whining about being laid off or not being able to find a job are those who have done zero planning for this day occurring. I bet if we should check their previous spending habits we would find they freely spent on new cars, expensive vacations, big screen tv's, bass boats, etc, etc. Now, being that the inevitable day has come upon them, that day being old age, they're scared and resentful and want to blame others for their plight. I say so sad, too bad...

These folk have paid into a pension plan all their life. I think that is the big difference in the people closer to 60 vs us closer to 50. They were expecting to retire on SS. When I get my statements it's like we'll see and I better plsn just in case becuse I don't want to be old and broke.

60 isn't that old. Trust me. If it was, retirement age would be 55. If a man wants to work at his trade until he is 100, he ought to be able to do so. There is real age discrimination out there, by the way. It's not subtle.

Your inevitable day will find you as well, and, if you are fortunate, you will not be one of those saps that retires only to die six months later of boredom or terror.
