63 year old prostitute to retire at 64

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin grandmother who has worked the city's diplomatic quarter as a prostitute for the last 49 years plans to retire when she turns 64 next year, according to Germany's Bild newspaper.

Even though prostitutes were forced to leave the area after the Berlin Wall, fell because dead-end streets in the downtrodden district were re-connected to east Berlin and property values surged, Renate Dolle was allowed to stay, Bild said.

"I've got a lot of regular clients," the blonde woman told the newspaper, pictured wearing a short red mini skirt and high-heeled white boots as she stood near the Japanese embassy. She said she charges 30 euros ($36) and on good nights she has four to five clients.

"I'm going to stop at 64 and retire," said Dolle, whose husband drops her off for work each night after the television evening news and who has a nine-year-old granddaughter.

She is one of 10,000 prostitutes in Berlin and 400,000 in Germany, where prostitution is legal. Dolle said she tried to work in a popular red light district nearby recently but was chased away by younger competitors.

"What do you want here, you old whore, get lost," Dolle said they shouted at her. "What did I ever do to them?"

Assuming she works 5 nights a week with 4 clients per night for 50 weeks out of the year for 50 years, she's performed a total of 50,000 "services":

She makes 30,000 euros per year ($36,000).

I hope to God she hasn't been doing this since she was 13-14 yrs old....

*edit: my bad, story says she's been at it for 49 years...how sad.

Everyone says when you get older, you complain about the prices of things, and think things should cost less.

I guess in this reverse case ($36)....it's a good thing...well...iffff...you....like 63 year old women...
