    60-65.

    Make it the average retirement age.

      And incentivize them to raise it? No thanks!

          Unfortunately, we all know for the US it would go fine. The UK is the same, we whine for a bit, then nothing happens

            idk i mean you punched your way out of a pretty thick paper bag there with Brexit, stuff happens sometimes

            not good stuff, obviously, but we all know why we can’t have nice things

            idk i think it would probably depend. The retirement age here is probably already 70.
