Will the US increase its retirement age, next?
Actually, it already has started. They are raising it incrementally in months. IE starting a few years back, It started changing by age for full SS benefits. Example, My wife who is 8 years younger than me, doesn't get full benefits untill she is 67 and a few months, mine was 65 and 6+ months. If one does the math, the most money one can recieve up to a certain age is by retiring @ 62, Not available any more I believe, and then dying before you reach 75 or so, because after that you start losing money again. I chose the 62 option because of doing physical work all my life. I can see office workers working on into their 70s and beyond. By that time, their big fat asses will serve them well.
