People are living longer, and daily life is getting more expensive. It may be time to rethink the timeline for leaving the workforce.

Handing in your proverbial badge as a sexagenarian has been the goal for many workers around the world: turning 65 would open a golden portal to retirement. Yet increasingly, the idea of stepping away from the workforce in your 60s doesn't seem realistic – or even sensible – for many people, especially now. Some major financial figureheads agree.

In March, investment-management firm BlackRock released its annual letter to the company's investors. Its CEO Larry Fink sounded a warning for workers hoping to retire – comfortably and financially secure – in their 60s. As global life expectancy grows, social safety nets fray and cost of living spikes, Fink warned that retirement at age 65 won't be possible for many, even most, people.

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

a good war should bring that life expectancy down to more manageable numbers

Brick said it is all fine. 65-67 depending on birth is on point.

Biden is doing a “good job”.

Neoliberalism has found a solution to this: Life expectancy for white people without a college degree has been declining for the past couple of decades due to "deaths of despair": suicide, drug and alcohol addiction, etc.

No need for this group to worry about a retirement nest egg since they're increasingly being killed off by capitalism by the time they're 55.

White people win again!

Are you blaming Biden for longer lifespans?
