CPF or no CPF now you still see more and more elderly working at fast food joints, hawker centres, food courts and begging on the streets. The scary thing is, a lot of them actually have children. They wiped out their $$$ raising their kids and the kids are apparently not making enough $$$ to support both them and their own kids.Originally posted by Fatum:well ... it does have it flaws ... but the idea is a pretty good one ...
cos if you push the onus of retirement planning onto the public themselves, you'll end up with a higher public cost in the end ... retirees working the tables and counters at Mcdonalds is not an exclusively Singaporean phenomenon I've discovered ...

which is why, like av says, many are at fast-food joints, others are rummaging through rubbish bins collecting can to sell to the recyclers...
