        I hope I never reach that - can’t afford to be alive then.

        Same. And I’m 69. Got a few good working years left, then…

            Average? I’m not sure. Expected is 65 though. I’m in US, and collecting my meager social security benefits. Recently reduced my work week to 40-45 most weeks

              You work that much of hours a week? Oh my… still with your age? It’s a shame. I hope that soon things will work out for you and a nice and deserved retirement waiting. Thumbs pressed!

                Kind of you thanks :) Actually my health remains solid and I enjoy my work, so it’s not so bad.

              How’s your 401k looking? I checked mine recently and there wasn’t Jack shit in it.

              It was like opening a box of disillusionment.

      I’m hoping suicide booths are a thing by the time I retire, something like in Futurama. I’ll just blow all my savings on a yearlong worldwide cruise or something and then call it a life. The other option is moving to a 2nd world country with universal healthcare to make it stretch, the first option sounds more fun though to be honest.
