a burger flipper better live at home or be born wealthy to retire
I know a burger flipper that retired and he does OK using the many social services available. He gets a little SS, rental voucher, a transportation voucher, food stamps, Medicaid, a phone, etc. and lives frugally.
in effect many are not really retiring on just ss as freemkt tried to infer . they qualify for many perks that make their apparent income larger .
many family's here in nyc have incomes under 15k but have as much apparent cash flow as those earning more than 50k . just getting medicaid is worth 15k to a couple in income . likely more because deductibles and out of pockets are covered

Housing vouchers go to welfare mothers, the elderly, and some of the disabled. Hard for an able-bodied, working-age burger flipper to get one.
