So 75 year olds should remain employed, and 25 year olds unemployed.

catch 22. if people don't retire, fewer jobs open up for the younger. I personally want to work as long as possible; i don't want to retire and sit home and die. But I'd like to be able to do something I want to do - like work as a guide in a wild animal park in Kenya or Tanzania.

Most of us wouldn't feel comfortable if our guide at the wild animal park was an 80 year old man.
