With the numbers given those are the ages of the people who can receive as part of the elder people which we call senior people would like to retire at that early age if they can but it depends on the kind of life what they have, if you raise already a good amount of money during that times you can now leave as you want and retire but what if not? people in the lower-low status of society can't choose this kind of life because they don't have any options they need to keep working so they can serve food every day and keep working hard for the challenge of life. Not all the time government can sustain those seniors at the end of the day it's their path of their life that make them keep alive.

Not many people can achieve the level of income that will allow them not to work when they want. Also, often the pension is not enough to provide themselves with everything they need and these people have to continue working.

Sometimes people continue to work even in retirement because they are bored of being retired without work, but this is also a very rare case, most often they keep going to the work because they need money. The retirement age is needed so that the government knows when to pay citizens a pension, but recently there is a tendency for governments to raise the retirement age, so people have to work until they are old.

that makes sense. Also, in my opinion, someone who enjoys their job and they don't have friends other than in the world of work, it is likely that they will continue to work not for money reasons, but because they have work friends who they consider to be their own family, and this happens in my environment where there are one parent who is elderly and he still likes to work also he has been warned to stop working by his family but he refuses because the reason he is in his job is that he finds pleasure that cannot be replaced with money, this indicates that money is not everything but everything need money.

It could also be that they choose to keep working because they are bored if they don't do the things they are used to doing, and it is possible that money is the number one thing, maybe they still like working for reasons like my story above.

The elderly man's job clinging is a great example of work surpassing money. He sees the workplace as a social hub where fellowship is the main course! This goes beyond job satisfaction to the workplace's social structure. Social creatures, we are! The workplace replaces family and community when they fail. In today's fractured world, where else do we spend much of our time? The workplace becomes a pseudo-family, covering money-less gaps

Boredom drives work ethic greatly, yet is often neglected! Breaking from routines feels like leaving home. Money is a convenient scapegoat, but it's not everything. Work fulfills our purpose-driven nature. Your story illustrates a larger trend: employment is more than a paycheck; it's a source of meaning and protection from laziness. We must acknowledge this and cease reducing the story to financial motives. We misunderstand work by looking at it through a narrow lens

I agree with this, where those who do not have a good relationship with their family and make the workplace and work friends as family this is a good thing. because not everyone has a good relationship with their family sometimes there is also a child who lacks affection from his family which in slang is brokenhome, those who experience this tend to always be alone or always with friends who he trusts and sometimes there are some children who are brokenhome talking about not having a home to go home to, but this is not about the house. someone who is less fortunate in terms of his family maybe they will prefer things outside such as considering friends who are at work as their own family. This is possible because in my opinion not all elderly people want to spend their time at home, there are also those who want to spend their time outside the home such as in the world of work or others, I don't think it's bad because they themselves have rights, and usually if people are elderly it will be difficult to be prohibited, so let them choose things that can make them happy, I strongly support this, if those who do not have a good relationship with their family but spend their masters in their own homes there is a possibility that they can get upset and become angry too because they are prohibited from doing anything other than staying at home.

I also think that socializing is not wrong, in fact it's good. because they will have friends to chat with who are cool and comfortable. but if they just stay at home, they might feel bored. the purpose of working is indeed to earn money primarily, but there is nothing wrong with those who do not have a good relationship in their family and consider their workmates as family, someone who works certainly aims to earn money to meet their basic needs, if indeed they do not experience any problems in the family, maybe their main purpose in working is because they can earn money. i'm sure they know the choices they have to make because they themselves will feel the results.
