Well, you typically cannot earn as much parking cars as you would working a "real" job, so sometimes you just suffer for the money. I just this week filed paperwork to retire, but I've a liberal leave policy so get paid for 7 months. Then and in theory, I've enough pension and SS to earn more per month retired then when working and that was a big reason to leave - why work when I make more money retired ?. I will not be parking cars in retirement,
