My main concern for the flip in the social security scenario hinges on age. Not everyone makes it to 62, and of course the age requirement was recently raised to 65. Some people, not all, are living longer, sure, but there are still plenty who never make it to retirement age. The current problem with social security is that at the age of 60, one is too old to truly do all the things that could not have been done in youth. Age is a deterrent to true living, because of all the physical problems that come with age. Also, increasing the age of retirement just because a few are living longer is more for making certain that not everyone receives social security.
