This is a rather sarcastic comment on retirement . Keep your nose clean all of your working life ( what an expression) and if you're still alive after all that grift and graft - enjoy (?) your retirement. I can see how us oldies become gradually irrelevant to society as we deteriorate. The world should turn itself upside down . Let you have everything when you're young and then take it all away at the end . I'm not sure that will ever win the grey vote.
