if you need a safety net then shouldn't even think about retiring at 55

Why would company hire you for just 3 days a week?

so which coy will pay an elderly past 60yr old for $2k a month to do admin work only, 3 times a week
Exactly, dream on. I am semi retired liao. Now doing 2 freelance jobs and going to take on one more soon.

If you do nothing after retirement, you will decline very fast. Either have a hobby, do some part time work, or have both.

what admin job you can do? $2K people can employ foreign trash that work 6 days per week.... for admin or for other jobs.

Ask yourself why you are seeking work and have nothing more interesting or meaningful to do?

For some, work is necessary because they need the income. However, if you are lucky to be sitting on a nice retirement fund, then it is likely that admin work is neither interesting nor meaningful enough.

Paging @MoeLanYong shushu for recommendation

I have been through a phase when I had nothing to do for 3 years. Jinja boring. Everyday wake up aimless. See everyone busy with their own lives. But me stare at 4 walls. Savings kept depleting. Mental faculties get weaker because never use.

I think some things are shaped by our own experiences. Very to hard explain to others. I rather work 3 days a week till 70. Gives me something to do. A purpose in life.

Thanks for remembering me @glarerder

There are a lot of cleaners and F&B positions now.
Not sure whether they employ old people in the future.
