Retirement is a very sacred status for Turks.
They do not pay property taxes.
They ride the bus for free.
They even ride the train at a discount.
They try to get out of traffic tickets by telling the police officer, "Officer, I am a retiree."
City restaurants and tea houses also serve retirees.
They even receive market support for tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers.
How can these minds, which have worked for years, put in the effort, and gained considerable experience, live like low-profile beggars?
The reason is clear.
The system has turned these people into creatures that resemble living beings in the final stage of their lives, constantly pumping out depressivism.
Just like the retirees in the former Iron Curtain countries.
However, there is no such group of retirees in continental Europe or America.
They are not chasing market support or discounted tickets.
Through social projects, they both keep retirees fit and pave the way for them to continue producing value in the system after retirement.
Let me conclude the topic with an example.
In a region of Europe, they have established a campus.
Retirees both educate and feed disadvantaged children, such as those with low income levels or those who are orphans.
They provide mentorship.
They serve as role models.
They show the way.
By keeping experienced people who retired at sixty-five within the system—mentally, spiritually, and physically—they reduce investment costs to zero.
In other words, they convert the cost the public spends to train a doctor not just to the active working process until retirement, but to the entire lifespan.
By reducing the costs of raising people to zero, they also provide an economic advantage over rival countries.
They shift their resources to other areas of production and add wealth to their wealth.
Thus, they gain a competitive advantage, increase national prosperity, and eliminate people's post-retirement anxieties such as "what will I do" or "how will I spend my time."
The increase in life expectancy and quality of life is an added bonus.
