It’s all about having power to control.Damn right. I retired when I was 59. Started taking MY money back from the .gov as soon as I could at 62. I wont' really start losing money (as opposed to waiting until age 67) until I'm 79 and 10 months...if I last that long. I'm guessing it won't be a big deal by then.
She either really liked her job, or really liked the money. There is no f'n way I'd work till I'm 87. 45 years was enough for me. I started working at 14 and never went more than a few weeks without at least one job.
If it wasn’t about the power, they would retire as soon as possible to get that fantastic retirement package.
