[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they retired 20 years ago. My mom passed away last year and my Dad is probably not going to last the next year. Dad retired at 65. I cansee that as we go along, later retirements wil be the norm. The 65 age for retirement was set at a time when the expected age of death was near 65. Now it is close to 80. There is no reason wh it shouldnt be raised to 72 or 75- at least for pension and social security payments. [/quote] It depends. My FIL owns a construction company and did harder labor his whole life. No way could he make it to 75. My dad is 61 and has lots of health problems. I see he's slowing down at work. Many, many men still die in their 60s. Maybe if you work a cushy office job you could work until 75. The 70 year olds that I work with though are a huge hassle. They can't seem to accept change, still can't work their iphones or Microsoft Excel. [/quote]
