Of course, of course. Clairvoyance for her is not a passion, but a pass time to take away people's money. Once she has enough money, it's no need to continue.

If you do something from love, there is no retirement, especially if you have a "gift" to help people.
Its like FlyingAngel said, she have enough money to stop stealing from the people...I'm guessing is exhausting to lie to them for 40 years, she needs a break.

This is just the standard Psychic retirement plan.
When its time to retire, you use your powers to grab a lotto prize and then fade away.
It doesnt mean they arent real, really they are.  It takes great willpower to keep from winning the lottery at 20 and enjoying your life.
Good Grief.

What's the percentage of psychics that win the lottery, as compared to the percentage of  non-psychics that win the lottery?

Right, because winning at 20 is not a good moment to financially help her family with that amount of money.

Ah well, there goes the old joke, "Why don't you ever see the headline, 'Psychic Wins Lottery'!"

But you miss the point, at 20 they would be using their "gift" for personal reasons.
Thats why they have to wait until they are ready to retire.
To do otherwise would show them to be unethical.  And Psychics are anything but unethical....

[pallidin]

Yeah, I hear you on that. "Pure" spirituality would have no desire for money, or even material possessions beyond the basics.

Or why they don't win the lottery at 20 to provide for her/his family and still be a psychics?
I don't see any obstacle to be rich and to help people with your "gift"....then you can help people for free, or helping someone always have a price?

i don't know why people assume that if you have a psychic ability it is your moral responsibility to use it to help without expecting any payment.
what about other 'helpful' jobs that people get paid for? maybe the fire department should come and rescue you and save your burning home out of sheer selflessness.

[Rolci]

I bet that's the first time she's ever played and didn't have any lottery tickets ever that didn't win?

Excepting for commercial fires, or arson, or forest fire, when was the last time you heard of someone getting a bill from the fire department? In the US, that's built into our taxes.
Same for "normal" police calls.

Medical(ambulance) is different and will charge a hefty fee.

yes it's paid from your taxes. do those firefighters get a paycheck?
my point is that there is no shame in charging money or making a living on something you excel at. if a person has psychic abilities that does not obligate them in any way morally, ethically, or legally, to provide a service without cost.
