1. The French are better suited to early retirement

than workers in the US.. At least they can be assured of an old age pension and health care.. If those two things are taken care of and you have your home paid for or have cheap rent, you will probably be ok..

Not so here..:(

2. The freepers would disagree with you -

They think the old timmers are having a ball and living high off the hog.
