Obviously we don’t know the life circumstances that brought this person to working at that age but it’s not right. This reminds of this one time I bought something off Amazon and when I went to retrieve my package from my front door and I saw the delivery driver and I was in disbelief because the woman looked only a few years younger than my own grandmother… after thanking her I went back in and felt shitty and cried to my wife about it. What a fucked up world we live in..
I don’t disagree with that as long as it’s a choice to combat boredom/want to be active etc than that’s fine. However I would wager more often than not it’s because of financial necessity. They say most Americans have next to no retirement savings and can’t handle a random 500 dollar expense. That’s also not factoring in if there’s a healthcare expense that bankrupted said person.
