退職の年齢
美水音子は彼女が努めている会社からの早期退職について考えていた。彼女は当時55歳であったが、長年、胃の問題で悩まされていたのだった。
ある日、音子は会社の年金部署に電話し、次のように質問した。「こんにちは！ちょっとお聞きしたいんですが、社員の最低退職年齢は何歳からでしょうか。」
担当者が答えた。「退職は何時でも可能です。でも、60際になるまでは年金は受け取れませんよ。早期退職は60歳か、または30年間の勤続年数を経てからになります。その際、年金の受給額は当部署の計算に基づいて減額されます。65際に達するか、若しくは35年勤続を満たした時点で任期満了退職になります。
結局、音子は60で退職することに決めた。彼女は、質素に暮らして生活費を減らせると考えた。
