[quote=AN][quote=SK in CV]That life expectance has not significantly increased over the last few decades. Whether it will in the future remains to be seen.[/quote]
What would you consider significant? Over the last 2 decades, life expectancy went up 4% (3 years) and over the last 5 decades, life expectancy went up 12%. So, boomers in their 50s, if we see another 12% over the next 5 decades, their life expectancy would be 9 years longer. I don’t think we’re delaying SS full retirement age by 9 years.[/quote]
You totally missed my point. Total life expectancy is immaterial. Life expectancy at retirement age is what’s important. I think that number is 7 years higher now than it was when SS started.
