Who gives a shit? No one should have to spend their 80s working

They are today still making choices which are forcing them to work. They might be able to not work if they move to a cheaper area and give up their expensive car.

Like move to a different state? They have family and friends there probably and also moving can be expensive.

But I agree, some people can make bad financial choices, but mostly it's not educated choices. So they need help either way, probably financially and consulting.
