Unfortunately, even though life expectancy has increased, most of the increase is from the early years. Less people die young. The increases in life expectancy for those reaching 60 has increased, but not substantially.
Chinaco has a lot of good points. A number of people retire just because they don't have the health to work in their job anymore.
I never said anyone was retiring just because they felt like it. Although, my wife's 80 yr old grandpa who has retired from two jobs and now works part time at Home Depot for fun might disagree on people not living longer or being able to work longer.
I mentioned two other thoughts about what might happen. Do you disagree about the general thought that SS is in trouble? If not, what do you think the long term solution will be.
