Good. Rich people should be allowed to use taxpayers money as they wish because taxpayers can't do anything. When France increased the retirement age to 63, there were riots and protest happening all over France. Here in Australia, its 67 and probably increase it to 70 within the next decade. Nobody will say or do anything but will keep on complaining to their friends and family.
You know you don’t have to retire at 67, that’s just the age when you’re entitled to the pension. You fucked up or had some serious bad luck if your plan is retire on the pension. My mother-in-law is on the disability pension, she can just about afford her day-to-days bills, but anything unexpected we need to take care of it.
Assuming you aren’t a baby boomer, your superannuation should be enough to retire on, and at the moment you can get access to it at 60.
If you have built up a level of wealth that doesn’t rely on pension or super you can retire whenever TF you want.
I just hope they increase the retirement age to atleast 75. People shouldn't be allowed to touch their super unless they reach 75. Let's work and make Australia great again.🇺🇸🇦🇺🇺🇸🇦🇺
