"Debate Heats Up Over U.S. Retirement Age as Worker Highlights Life Expectancy Concerns"

A TikTok user, Kuru (@kuruthegemini), sparked a discussion about the absurdity of the U.S. retirement age, pointing out that with a retirement age of 65 and a life expectancy of 76.1 years, Americans have very little time to enjoy retirement. Despite the Social Security Administration setting the retirement age at 67 for those born after 1960, the comparison with countries like Saudi Arabia, which has a retirement age of 47, highlights the stark differences in retirement systems. Kuru's commentary reflects a broader concern about the quality of life during retirement years and the need for a new approach to retirement planning.
