Retirement ages will have to move to 70, 80 years old, Benmosche, who turned 68 last week, said during a weekend interview at his seaside villa in Dubrovnik, Croatia. That would make pensions, medical services more affordable. They will keep people working longer and will take that burden off of the youth.
So many articles do agree with this one. Personally, I am looking forward to articles saying that retirement ages will have to move to 40, 50 years old in order to free up more of those hard-to-find jobs during our lengthy unemployment crisis.

Happily retired since 2009, at age 61. Best years of my life by far!
