The sign says, "families welcome"
At the Oaks Retirement Home
But mostly, no one comes 'cept on the weekends
Ruby Wilson lives in 303
Where she spends most her time
But it's almost noon on Sunday
And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine
She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves
She's all dressed up
Watching and waiting, but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow
When you're all dressed up
With nowhere to go

Get a gold watch and your work is done

Is retirement dead? It's a scary question, especially if you're currently working hard with hopes of kicking back, relaxing and enjoying spending your time anywhere but an office one day.

What's the best age to retire? It's a question countless workers ask themselves every day. Pinpointing the right retirement age isn't easy, as each choice comes with its own consequences. Leave the workforce at 62, for example, and you'll slash your Social Security benefits should the need arise to claim them right away. But, you'll also get more years of payments, not to mention the ability to enjoy some downtime when you're younger and are apt to have more energy.
