We need to face the reality of living longer. I have chosen to continue working rather than retire, I believe it is healthier for the soul to keep contributing, as able, to society. As a nurse, I have seen many folks decline rapidly when they stop working. Raising the age when one receives benefits makes the most sense financially and socially. Finally, I am well aware that the cost of care is very high at the end of life, so making healthy choices during working years is important.

Nice article! I appreciate the unbiased approach. I think our politicians are sensitive to the issue. The age limited was successfully raised in the past. We had plenty of time to plan when we were told that our benefits would be later than our parents.
