LOL! Did you think before posting?
The LE in the U.S. is 77 - 77.9 years.

I actually know folks that age and older who still work.
If you had read a later post I did reduce it. I think 70 is good but will have to be raised again in several years cause the system can not survive with the decrease in those being taxed.
Eben in 1935 when passed Social Security was never envision to be the sole source of retirement income for so many, rather a supplement. Two-thirds of seniors today rely on social security getting one-half of their retirement income from social security. Not what was envisioned.
Radical, drastic changes are needed.
