I am 85 and not to the point of what is being discussed but will say life today among the up and comer's is not pleasant,to much for no work.Most would not know a hard days work is,selfish and greedy for the most part.
It's not just retirees, it's older people in general regardless if they work or not. I say that as someone approaching retirement age. I work with the public and by far the crankiest, meanest people are old. Not all old people are cranky but all cranky people are old. My question is was it always like this? Or is this a more recent phenomenon?
I have noticed the same. Old people are the worst....They believe everyone should bow down to them and give them the extra attention since they're "senior citizens"
Older folks are retired and have plenty of free time to complain about anything
Some old people volunteer and do all kinds of good things after retirement - others retire and then have no plan just sitting home doing absolutely nothing or their health starts to deteriorate - all they do is go to doctor appointments, watch TV, and sleep.
To me the key is trying to get up with society as you age. Too many people - especially old people pine for their younger years and except the world to turn backwards. The 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s are gone forever. Things never stay the same. They will always change.
Go take a stroll over at the Politics and Other Controversies forum. Plenty of angry, unhappy (and at times, scary as hell) people of all ages. Retirees don't have a lock on those types of feelings.
Amen.
