The fastest-growing age group in the workforce isn’t teens or new college graduates, it’s people over 75.

The amount of people I work with who are 68+ years old, have 45+ years of service and can barely function is beyond depressing.

But I thought the boomers setup the system to benefit themselves and screw over everyone else? What happened?

In my father’s case. it has nothing to do with money.

He’s bored. His entire boomer life has been dedicated to work. So when it came time to retire, he tried that. Was bored, and decided he enjoyed having things to do. So now he’s working part time doing book keeping for random businesses.

The boomer generation made work/life balance so skewed towards work for themselves that so many of them, despite enriching themselves from a wealth stand point, do not know what else to do with themselves. ’
