"... in the United States as of 2025, while a person born before 1960 can retire with social security benefits at the age of 66, those born after 1960 must be 67" The Wikipedia on Retirement age
My parents retired at 65. They have been retired for nearly two decades and if they had instead continued to work through half of that time I don't know if they'd still be with us. I don't know if they would have been able to help their kids and grandkids as much as they have.
