Feels strange- as most of us in UK and Europe have got used to 65 for such a long time.
Then 66, and now 68 planned!!!
Where do you live?
I was born in 1951 and so was able to retire at 67. My husband was born in 1956 and, unless they change the law again, will be able to retire this year, after his birthday in July. Those born in the 1960s can retire at 68 and 69. Anyone born in or after 1970 will not qualify for a pension before they are 70. These are the Danish figures.
Germany is raising retirement age from 65 til 67 in the course of the next few years. In the Netherlands you can retire at 66 and 10 months this year, but will have to wait until you are 67 next year.
So no, Europe is no longer used to 65 as retirement age.
