BoomerVille - And, One 72-Year-Old Is Working for $13 Hourly
"Wow. You're getting 30 hours a week." I assumed I was congratulating this 72-year-old woman on having the ability to land so much work. She was having none of it. "I get $13 an hour. And am on my feet." Her regret was not investing. Instead she had paid for the children's education and weddings. Well, even if she had invested she might not have been better off. At least not emotionally.
