never underestimate the rate of depression in elderly when they dont feel useful anymore
there has been studies on people who live to 100 and one of the factors is they found an excuse be it their hobby or a job that was equal to their hobby giving them something to look forward to doing every day was actually beneficial for their overall health to stay more cognisant as they grow older.
Not all work stress is bad stress. bad stress such as having abusive people around is not the same as a mental challenge stress that keeps a person’s brain working.
we are in these bodies to move them.
so i dont think its just people are living longer, they are feeling more relevant to live better for longer.
Which further gets to pension age being low is bullshit as it is lol. It’s meant as a general guideline it’s why I don’t plan on taking my pension until I’m 70. Means I can. Get more money by delaying. Unfortunately not all people can do that though.
Regardless, the point is demanding a pension age of 55 is insane as is expecting the pension age to stay at 65. The average person born in 2000 is expected to live about 80 years which means most people will live well beyond that. The system is not designed to support someone for 25+ years because when it was designed we did not live that long!
Which gets to the underlying problem. UBI. We keep addressing all these fractured issues when they would all be solved with a fucking UBI but God forbid politicians ask corporations and millionaires/billionaires to pay for it.
We can’t even get our politicians to fund education and healthcare properly.
and what did your dad have to say about retiring?
and feelings of retiring before and after ?
Depending on how the person likes their job or what they get from it can add to why a person lives so long and healthier to be able to. they find their reason to get up in the morning. https://www.cnbc.com/make-it/2024/07/20/100-year-olds-not-retiring-is-what-keeps-us-going.html
