This is how it went.

“What was your career?”

He replied ” I worked in ………. as a  public servant.”

“When did you retire?”

“I retired at age 55 with an early pension.  I could not stand to continue working  until age 65.”

I  then remarked that it was possible that you could receive retirement benefits that were indexed for the remainder of your life and if you lived to age 95 you would be receiving continued income  for a period longer than you worked as a public servant.

To which he replied “yes that could happen.”

How are you  doing I said.”   I am getting by he replied

 

Think about that!    

  • His pension will continue to be  paid by the taxpayers.  
  • He required no education for the position he worked.
