There will surely some who falls thru' the cracks, and needs gov. support in their golden years/twilight years................

[moonrab]

But there are others who prefer to retire, and enjoy their golden years, a time to be able to smell the roses, a time to enjoy the simple joys of life.  At age 62, it is time to retire.......but our garment wants us to work until 65, then 67 and later 69

Many passed away before 65 too.
Each plan for themselves. Don't have to follow experts recommendation.

That is true, a person can die at any age..........perhaps at 65, which means he can only enjoy his retirement for 3 years if he retires at age 62.........

Below age 65 should be 5-10% gone.
Heart attack or cancer just come suddenly...e.g. Sim Wong Hoo.

You can't say for sure if you are one of the 10%.

Hence one should start bucket list and do the things you want instead of waiting.

I have gone through all the postings here are my views

1. The govt primary consideration is financial. They want as much people to work as possible so they do not have to budget alot of money to care and support the growing number of elderly. This is their main consideration not your well being or your happiness.

2. However when they sell the idea of later retirement they make it sound like it is for you benefit. This untrue. They l dont want to increase spending to support elderly that is their main goal.

3. We don't know when we will die. It makes no sense to keep delaying retirement which is defined as doing things we like be it travel, gardening or fishing or taking care of grand kids. ...If you delay you risk never ever doing these things should you die suddenly.

4. Instead of being influenced by govt propaganda to keep working until old age one needs to spend time thinking about what you want to do and make it happen....

Quite true, we must spend time thinking about what to do and make it happen.  Life is fragile, and at any moment one may up lorry, so do the things you want to do now, and not wait until the age of 70.................

[ysh02]

But hor no money or not enough will Gov help ? They will ask you work as cleaner first than Gov help to top up difference.....
