This guy is 62? Well, there is always social security for him, and McDonalds and Walmart make it a point to hire "older' folks. Although, it is tough to get full time at one of these places, it would be possible for both of them to work 2 part time jobs each. And move. Also, seems the kids could offer them a cheap place to bunk out for a while until they could find a cheaper place to rent. Sometimes, the golden years get a little tarnished.

Hmmm...my mother who is in her 50's just started working there--she did a stellar job and they took her on full time within a couple of months. Most retail places just will not hire you full time initially. Benefits are a premium and they like people to prove they are worthy of receiving them before they dole them out.
