I think everyone feels it.
Not getting political, but this is one of the big problems with trying to reform the Social Security system- the only obvious way is to raise the "normal" retirement age. Its up to 66 now, and I think scheduled to continue to go up gradually.
That may be fine for office jockeys like me, but how about you guys doing physical work? You'll get laid off when you can no longer "cut the mustard", usually long before you hit 66, and then what does the guvment suggest that you do?
My dad quit the carpenters union when he was in his 40's (in the mid 1960's)- they had a carpenter's pension plan, but you could only draw it if you worked until you were 65, and very few were able to do that, so lost their pension. Great loophole, huh? This was at the time of a "building boom" in our area, and most of the home builders went non-union, because plenty of good carpenters had quit the union and were available.
