I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read in AARP Magazine and other news articles about how great it is to work until 70 years of age. How desirable you are as an employee because of your experience and know how. A big picture of some geezer mentoring a millennial with a huge smile on their face. What a load of CRAP that all is. Here is a list of real facts for you.
- You are untrainable. You still know how to open the hood of a car but that’s about it.
- You are a crabby bastard. Let’s face it, after years of being beaten down, bullshitted, taken advantage of, cheated, and best of all lied to, you are shot.
- Your standards are way to high. You expect common courtesy and people who show up. Idiot!
- You move like a snail with an anvil on your back.
- How well can you see through your trifocals?
- Can you hear anything? Can you hear a tornado going through the Walmart you work at?
- Employers love to pay people at the top of their scale as long as they can
- Do you know what a barcode is? If you do, then tell us all you know about the bitcoin.
- You have a jar of colon polyps on your dresser just below the crucifix and palm branch from Easter 1962.
- Are you able to check yourself out at Home Depot? Congratulations you are now the manager.
- You don’t like diversity. It’s okay but not necessary an attribute in today’s society.
- Do you have little pictures of all your joint replacements in your wallet?
- Do you talk about your bowel movements with reverence and full descriptions?
- You only have two friends and both are in memory care.
- Let someone else have a job for Christ sake!
- You are not special and irreplaceable. If you dropped over dead on the job your coworkers would be pissed at you because they would have to suck up your job and like it.
- Your children can’t wait to get away from you unless you are writing them a check.
The real facts are difficult to swallow but your time of being somebody is gone.
If you wait until you are 70 to get the highest amount from social security because people tell you this is a great plan then you need to review the items below.
- 75% of all 65-year old’s have several chronic medical conditions.
- In the last two years the life expectancy for American men and women has gone down.
- At 70 is the $200 bucks going to change your life. You could get your wheelchair buffed. Buy name brand fiber products. Get yourself a crack whore.
- More money to give the nursing facility.
- There are millions of young able slugs who have never worked or paid taxes who live better than you do.
- The slugs from line 5 will be laying next to you in the same nursing home.
No reason to get mad at me about the facts. You are like an old shoe with holes in the sole. From above it looks great, from below your taking on water.
Quit serving people, take your money, alter your mood, and serve yourself for as long as you can.
