As People Live Longer They Will Also Be Working Longer
Each day in the news we see more and more people are living into their centurion years. It used to be real news when someone lived to be over 100 years old and yet it is now becoming more and more common. With lifelong longevity on the rise many people who are now 30 and 40 years old will most likely all live into their hundreds.
As people living longer they will need to work longer in order to enjoy retirement without running out of money. It is therefore necessary to stop the mandatory retirement age of 60 at most jobs and extend it for those who wish to extend it. It may also be necessary that we raise the retirement age from 60 years old to 70 years old. Of course those who are near retirement now will not appreciate this but it is something we need to think about anyway; especially with the Social Security running into trouble in 4039.
If people have more productive years well into what use to be old age this means that middle age really starts after 50 and extends to 75 or 80. And old age is now 80-100 years. What is nice about all this is folks can have multiple careers and enjoy more choices and produce more for the civilization, while having time to better themselves in many more endeavors of their choosing. Consider all this in 2006.
