Loading ...In Germany 73 IS THE NEW 65
In Germany, there is a proposal to raise the retirement age to 73 due to a lack of funds, defense spending, and Ukraine.
The Scientific Advisory Board at the German Ministry of Economics has suggested increasing the retirement age to 73 to prevent the collapse of the pension system.
The authors of the report state that there is almost no time left for reforms. In their opinion, Germany’s economy has been stagnating for years, and the demographic situation is worsening.
As an example, the experts cite Denmark, where the retirement age has been regularly adjusted since 2006 based on demographic indicators. By 2040, it will rise to 70 years there, and by 2060 it could reach 73 years.

If Europe gets its way there won’t be a 2060.
8 more years to kill you off before having to pay out, and they still want to call it ‘defense’ spending.
Death-Death = Win-Win – plus, when they go to war, the carrot of early retirement can be dangled for recruits (65 for natives, 60 for newcomers).
Do you actually think the brown newcomers will go to war for the promise of an earlier pension? lol.
Yes, we’re on the same page.
Would be interesting if they raised it to 75 for paper pushers, and 65 for construction and physical labor jobs.
If there was a sure way to tell who did what.
Oh, and make it 85 for anyone who ever served in government or public office.
Hey pedro didn’t you used to work for the Government ?

I’m not in Germany, and here I’m “grandfathered” anyhow.
