I thought you folks here would get a heckuva kick out of this article! It's the typical story. A six figure slowlaner retires and runs out of money! He has to resort to working 2 part time jobs. On second thought. He may be more of sidewalker if he was making that much for so many years and he only saved 80k before the 2008 crisis!

A retired businessman who once enjoyed all the perks that came with his six figure salary job is being forced to make ends meet in his retirement by working two lowly paid part-time jobs. Former high flying marketing executive Tom Palome, 77, now fills his days making $10 an hour to demonstrate food at Sam's Club and $8 an hour flipping burgers and serving drinks at a golf club in Tampa, Florida.‘I earn in a week what I used to earn in an hour,’ Palome, who used to fly first class on business trips to Europe, told Bloomberg.
