I get what you’re saying, but retirement is a number in your bank account, not an age. Also, if you cannot work due to disability, you’re on disability, not retired. They are completely different animals. If they are disabled they need to push for disability. It’s not easy to get, but it’s better than wallowing in financial limbo.
If people literally retire with insufficient finances it’s a bad decision.
You’re right, we don’t know their health circumstances, but at face value these folks don’t seem like the best decision makers.
This is America. The guy could be broken from those jobs but can’t qualify for assistance.
Maybe he’s just lazy. Maybe you’re not creative enough to come up with a plausible reason for his actions. Both seem equally likely to me.

I agree. But I also wish disability was as sensible as you say. Plenty of people fall through the cracks.
