Retiring at 51 after a 30 year role is not conducive to survival on the pension.

So is the issue that they'd have to work at McDonald's or that they don't want to return to their pre elevation job? Or that they want a cushy retirement job somewhere? Something else? Be clear if you're trying to make a point please.

The idea that a government pension should sustain you from 50 onwards is not a good one.
