Anything but taxing the rich. No no no, can't have that now, can we?

Thats why i do my retirement now, making sure i get my 10-20 years of free time now, cuz idk if i even make it to 70.
Yeah best decision I made was dropping out at 17 and play games, then around 21 get involved with an underground soundsystem with a full Funktion one rig and rave for 4 years
Nowadays money is meaningless and just stacking since material goods hold little value in my eyes.
Fuck the system
They will couple the retirement age to life expectancy and this parameter will drop in future. I'm pretty sure we are currently around the peak value of how old the average person will get. Climate change will result in millions of premature deaths every year worldwide. Heat waves will get much more deadly, more pandemics, more extreme flash floods, tornados, storms will kill additionally. Fungi already kill a lot of old people and nobody really knows that or cares about it, despite the WHO's warning of 8 very harmful species of fungi and their urge to invest more in prevention. Global food and water supply will get pretty precarious. More toxins accumulate in the environment. We see more wars and violence, less stable economies, more social unrest... How can any sane person expect people will live longer under those conditions? Just because conditions have improved for decades doesn't mean it will never get worse again.
To be fair pension with 70 in 2090 might actually be a decent idea, but way too far into the future to plan for anything.
The real headline should be the end of pensions with 63. The most births after WW2 in Germany were in 1964. So they could start to retire next year. That obviously is going to stress the pension system. However it also means that the baby boomers are at an age, where death is much more likely. So this will be naturally solved in a decade. However obviously the labour market is going to be worse for employers.
