I'm an old man of 73, and I've been around a long time. If I don't know something by now, I probably never will.

It used to be 65 when you went into retirement. Before that, when you got into your 50s, you were getting older.

I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.

I just turned 66, and I'm starting to work again.

With the duckets that I now have safe, I think I will retire at 66 years of age, praise God, in good health.

It is estimated that raising the retirement age to 70 would cut the shortfall by about 36%. But this proposal has some drawbacks. Women and men who have worked jobs that require manual labor all of their lives may not physically be able to do work until they are 70 years old.

I look back on it, yeah, I'm in a much worse financial position than I was eight years ago. I'm going to have to go out at age 62 and kind of readdress some of that.
