It's interesting, my father didn't quit working until he was almost 70, my mother had to beg him to stop. So he didn't take social security until he was 69. He did take his military pension so he was able to live off of that plus his salary and max out his 401k and IRA and all that other junk. He didn't start making real money (if you will) until he hit 65. He's not alone in that Boomer mentality of work till you drop. Now at the age of 78 with my mother gone and him with all this cash and no one really to spend it with or on he's kind of floundering. Buying stupid shit like pointless polo shirts and stupid fucking cars that no ones impressed by. His younger brother is the same way he. Held on to so much money that he took my father aside one day and said "Bill I have so much money I don't know what to do with it." So instead of doing something smart he went out and bought a Porsche 🤷. I don't know I guess you just can't fix stupid. I wonder if anyone else 's parents have done the same thing. Working till they pretty much are forced to retire by a spouse and actually try to live a little bit. I wonder if the boomers are afraid to retire because at that point they're redundant and I don't think there egos like that. They want to be the me me generation until they're in the grave.
