View Full Version : 90-Year-Old Bartender Still Shaking And Stirring Family Ties Forever! 08-23-2006, 01:47 AM link (http://www.click2houston.com/foodnews/9715126/detail.html) Mr. Television 08-23-2006, 01:52 AM He sure has met a lot of interesting people. He probably tells his customers stories instead of the other way around. lol Janice 08-23-2006, 11:51 AM I'm sure his duties are limited. I tended bar for years, and it's back breaking work...carrying cases of beer and wine and those big buckets of ice. I haven't done it for 12 years, and I still have the bursitis in my shoulders that flares up. Bartending is a tough racket. Ireneparalegal 08-23-2006, 02:37 PM Why wouldn't you want to be working til 90? My father worked two weeks up until he died, he was almost 84. He ran his business full-time 5 days a week. Like he always said, "Retire? and do what? Stay home and watch t.v.? NO THANK YOU."

He enjoys doing it and if it makes him happy I think it is a good thing. I don't know if I would want to retire in my 50's or that early because the average age to live to is mid to late 70's. That would be almost 25 years retired. I know I would get bored.

They want to travel, have more time to spend with family, golf, hobbies, whatever. Enjoy what they've worked for all their lives. It's a personal decision. I would never want to work my entire life, no matter how much I loved my job. There's nothing wrong with retiring. Jonathan 08-24-2006, 01:41 PM Oh my, he must have ambition. :lol: |
