Sorry that's just the way it works. I had to start at the bottom 35 years ago. I started working in high school as a mechanic, My starting pay was $2.00 an hour. I'm 56 and started working when I was 15. Bought my own first car for $75 bucks, paid my own insurance and gas so I could drive to high school and then to work.
You'll be old someday, you'll get your senior discounts then. Old people don't just get senior discounts for no
reason, they've worked hard all their lives, and they've earned a little break now and then.
