Interesting topic and posting`s there Harry. I can only comment on my own humble experience`s, and other`s I know. I`ve never been able to understand the retiring age being 65 for a man, while at the same time, the average life expectancy of a man is 65! It always has been as far as I`m aware. So what would have happened in the 50s, 60s, or 70s for example, if men on average were found to be living till 70? I suspect the retiring age would have been increased at that time rather than now. This living longer business seems to be something new in recent years, and of course anything like this, (and global warming), will quickly be jumped upon by politician`s and other`s for their own ends maybe. I`m now 58 and finishing up through health probs, but I loved my job, and liked most of the people I`ve worked with over the year`s. I also saw myself going beyond 65, like a few other`s I know. However, since being off last year for many month`s recovering, I discovered that there was more to life than work. I did go back to work last August, on 3 hours per day gradually building up to the present 6 through doctor`s order`s. I decided last month, after my own personal experience`s last year not to go on but to finish up, and this is all going through at the moment. I`ve found I don`t miss the job, as it`s all changing anyway,and I`m out getting a life, something I didn`t have at work as I was there all the time and liking what I did.
