The planet was starting to recover from World War II. The United Nations held its first General Assembly. The first programmable digital computer, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ENIAC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ENIAC<\/a>, was put into service. And it was the start of the Baby Boom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increase in births between 1946 and 1964 in many places around the world created the largest generation to-date: the Baby Boomers. Today, the oldest Boomers are 75 and the youngest are 58, with retirement on the horizon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average world life expectancy in 1960 was just 52.6 years; in 2020 it had increased more than 20 years, to 72.7 years. With increasingly older populations, the pension systems in many countries are facing challenges in the coming decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A country&#8217;s wealth is a key indicator of longevity, and high-income countries have the largest populations of people over age 65.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the world is aging by country income, 1960-2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/7982768\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>But the gap in life expectancy between poor and rich countries has narrowed in the past 60 years \u2014&nbsp;from 29 years in 1960 to 17 years in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Life expectancy by country income, 1960-2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"flourish-embed flourish-chart\" data-src=\"visualisation\/7983306\"><script src=\"https:\/\/public.flourish.studio\/resources\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the world, most statutory retirement ages are between 60 and 65, but some countries are increasing this to 67 or older to take into account increases in life expectancy.

Like Dolly Parton, Cher, Steven Spielberg and Barry Gibb, all born in 1946, many are staying active in their retirement years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We talked to eight 75-year-olds around the globe to see how they\u2019re doing in retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> 2020 data from the <a href=\"https:\/\/data.oecd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OECD<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/population.un.org\/wpp\/DataQuery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">United Nations<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/datatopics.worldbank.org\/world-development-indicators\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Bank<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"target\" class=\"block--fullheight-scroll\">\n    <section class=\"fullHeightSection\">\n      \n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side focus top\">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Australia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia has a unique retirement system, with a government age-based pension plus employee-funded savings called superannuation, or just &#8220;super.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">25.7 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEDIAN AGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">37.9<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION OVER 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">16.3%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDP PER CAPITA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">$54,654<\/p>\n\n\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"right-side\" id=\"topcard\">\n              <img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/australia.gif\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">        <div class=\"left-side\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/australia.jpg\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"right-side\" >\n          <div class=\"country-main\">\n            \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jenny Phillips&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I partially retired at the age of 50, when I moved from Sydney back to Melbourne to look after my parents, who were getting on in years. I took a part-time job doing food demonstrations in supermarkets. I enjoyed it because I was always meeting people. I did that for about 10 years. After my parents died, my husband and I returned to Sydney in 2016. My three kids were there, and we were forever going up and back to see our young grandchildren.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love being retired. I have the freedom to choose how I spend my days. I don\u2019t have to get up every morning and work from 9 to 5. I\u2019ve done all that stressy stuff already. That said, my life at the moment is full on, because I get involved in things!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I volunteer at my granddaughter\u2019s school canteen and am helping to organize the principal\u2019s awards. I also volunteer at a foundation that provides meals to people who are homeless or disadvantaged. Volunteering keeps me grounded. People come to us carrying two or three bags that are probably the sum total of their possessions. Seeing people who don\u2019t have anything makes me realize that I have a lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband and I are not millionaires, but we\u2019ve got more than enough money. We can afford a comfortable lifestyle. We saved for our retirement through superannuation contributions. We also get a small pension, and because we are part pensioners, we are entitled to get discounts on things such as regional travel and water rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am content. I\u2019ve visited some lovely countries, and have done a bit of business-class travel. Three countries that I\u2019d still like to see are out of bounds: Syria, Iraq and Iran. I\u2019m just about to go to Libya. My daughter and her family will be there before I arrive. I\u2019m flying there on my own, but my son-in-law, who is Libyan, will meet me in Tunisia and fly back to Tripoli with me. After I booked the tickets, I lay in bed that night and thought, \u201cJenny Phillips, what have you allowed yourself to be talked into?\u201d Then my more adventurous side kicked in and I thought, \u201cYeah, let\u2019s go.\u201d <em>\u2014&nbsp;as told to <a href=\"\/author\/jessica-mudditt\/\">Jessica Mudditt<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side \">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Colombia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>South America\u2019s third-largest economy joined the OECD in 2020.

I started working at the Central Bank of Colombia as a commercial secretary in the payment office. My boss was in charge of payroll, which went out every 10 days. I liked my job. By the time I retired in 1993, I was training personnel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I honestly didn\u2019t think about saving for retirement when I was young. As a woman, at that time, you\u2019d enter the workforce knowing that when you got married, you\u2019d have to stop working. I was lucky, because they changed that company policy in 1963.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I was working, I bought an apartment, a car and other things, but when I got divorced and became a single mother of three, I had to sell everything in order to support my children and give them an education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was very lucky I got a pension from the Central Bank of Colombia. Although if I hadn\u2019t had that, I would\u2019ve found a way. Inflation has changed the amount I receive over the years. But now I get about 4 million Colombian pesos ($1,020) every month after deducting the payments for my health insurance and housing loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The money I get from my pension isn\u2019t a lot, but it\u2019s enough to have a comfortable life \u2014 without luxury but comfortable. It is enough for one person, and right now I\u2019m also helping family members who need support.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I retired, I thought for a long time that I would go back to work, but I have never gotten bored. I do as I wish. I like wandering around the city. It was difficult during the pandemic because I couldn\u2019t do that anymore, but I found ways to keep living. I am staying with my daughter and helping take care of her two children. But I do miss being completely independent in my own space. If my children are well and we all have good health, that\u2019s all I want. \u2014<em>&nbsp;as told to <a href=\"\/author\/erika-pineros\/\">Erika Pi\u00f1eros<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side \">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Iceland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">The Mercer CFA Institute <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercer.com\/our-thinking\/global-pension-index-2021.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Pension Index<\/a> rated Iceland\u2019s retirement system the world\u2019s best in 2021.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">366,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEDIAN AGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">37.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION OVER 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">14.6%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDP PER CAPITA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">$55,213<\/p>\n\n\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"right-side\" >\n              <img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iceland.gif\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">        <div class=\"left-side\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/iceland.jpg\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"right-side\" >\n          <div class=\"country-main\">\n            \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Einar Gylfi J\u00f3nsson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>REYKJAVIK, ICELAND<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I worked as a psychologist for more than 40 years before I retired two years ago. Before I retired, I worked part-time for some time due to my wife\u2019s health. I realized when I retired, it was going to be a great experience to have fewer obligations. It\u2019s great to be almost always available when my kids or grandkids need me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel financially secure, and I\u2019m very grateful for that, that I have no financial worries. I paid into a pension during all my working years. You\u2019re required to pay at least 4% of your wages into a pension fund in Iceland. You can choose the pension fund in the private sector, and your employer pays the same amount into the fund. Before I fully retired, we sold our apartment because it was too big for us at this stage of life. We moved into an apartment building for people over 60, so we don\u2019t have a mortgage to pay. The money from my pension is 472,000 Icelandic kr\u00f3na ($3,600) after taxes each month. That is more than enough for me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven\u2019t taken any side jobs in retirement. I\u2019m not the type of guy who can take a job and work a little and not think about it. I\u2019m an \u201call in\u201d type of person. Also, because of the nature of my work, I would have to have an office. So I\u2019ve been enjoying this new role of not having a role. I\u2019m writing a little for myself; I love to travel alone around Iceland. Men tend to define ourselves so much in our work, and it\u2019s a status symbol for an Icelandic man to be very busy. I\u2019ve been enjoying having more time for my children and grandchildren instead of the demands of work and punctuality. I\u2019m trying to be less punctual \u2014 only when it\u2019s necessary. \u2014<em> as told to <a href=\"\/author\/jenna-gottlieb\/\">Jenna Gottlieb<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side \">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Japan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">With a population that has the oldest median age in the world, Japan has raised the retirement age to 65 for government workers and 70 for others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">125.7 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEDIAN AGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">48.4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION OVER 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">28.8%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDP PER CAPITA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">$42,939<\/p>\n\n\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"right-side\" >\n              <img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/japan.gif\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">        <div class=\"left-side\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/japan.jpg\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"right-side\" >\n          <div class=\"country-main\">\n            \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Atsuko Hirose<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>KAWASAKI, JAPAN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started working at age 18 as a clerk at the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Department. I worked there for eight years and left when I married my husband and devoted myself to raising my three children for a while. When they were grown, about 30 years ago, I was invited by a friend to join the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation, and I worked as a telegram operator for three or four days a week, for a few hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was fun to make friends at work and feel that I was participating in society. I retired at the age of 60; the current retirement age in Japan is 65. The Japanese economy was booming at the time, so I was quite optimistic that my life after retirement would be enjoyable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I was sad when I retired, because I had become friends with so many people, and I envied the younger people who continued to work. It was hard not to be able to talk to my colleagues. I liked working with a computer, so I bought a PC for myself, but it was boring since I didn&#8217;t use it for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I visited Hello Work, the Japanese government&#8217;s employment service center. But the only job available was full-time, which did not suit my needs. After that, I registered with the Japanese public employment service for seniors and got a job where I could use a computer. I have been working at a warehouse company in Kawasaki City for about four days a week for the past 15 years. My job includes making stickers for machine parts made in China and putting postcards into plastic bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since I turned 60, I\u2019ve received about \u00a55,000 ($44) per month from my national pension. I also receive about \u00a580,000 ($700) in social security once every two months, and my work pays \u00a550,000 ($438) a month. My husband earns more than I do, and our 45-year-old son lives with us in our house in Kawasaki City. My physical strength is decreasing, and my movements are getting slower, but I want to continue working as long as possible. I enjoy spending time with my five grandchildren and traveling in Japan and overseas to experience nature. \u2014 <em>as told to <a href=\"\/author\/taro-karibe\/\">Taro Karibe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side \">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pakistan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">The fifth-most-populous country in the world implemented a wide-sweeping social security program in 2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">220.9 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEDIAN AGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">22.8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION OVER 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">4.3%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDP PER CAPITA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">$1,193<\/p>\n\n\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"right-side\" >\n              <img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pakistan.gif\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">        <div class=\"left-side\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/pakistan.jpg\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"right-side\" >\n          <div class=\"country-main\">\n            \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syed Shaukat Jamal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>RAWALPINDI, PAKISTAN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was born in Munger district in Bihar state in eastern India. My father was a journalist working in the metropolitan city of Karachi. After the partition happened between Pakistan and India, my family and I also moved to Karachi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After finishing grade 10 in 1961, I moved to Lahore in the north of Pakistan and found some administrative jobs. In the early 1970s, I worked for Pakistan International Airlines and then landed an administrative job in a private company in Saudi Arabia, and I lived there for the next four decades. My wife and I raised three sons and two daughters in Riyadh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My job was very interesting; it was multifaceted with annual pay increments and many added benefits, like health, car and housing allowances. It was very secure. I was never scared that I might get fired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, I didn&#8217;t give my post-retirement plans any heed, but as I aged, I started investing and looked forward to the gratuity I would get at the end of the service. Otherwise I didn\u2019t have any retirement plans. One needs to make investments in one\u2019s youth to have a better old life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working abroad was not very easy. A lot happened when I was away from Pakistan, both celebrations and tragedies. My parents died, my siblings died, and I couldn\u2019t spend time with my loved ones. But for those sacrifices, I am glad I have a healthy life and all my kids are educated. They all are married and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My wife and I now live with one of our sons and his family in our own house. My living expenses are about 150,000 Pakistani rupees ($850) per month. When I worked in Saudi Arabia, I bought some properties in Pakistan. When I moved back at the beginning of 2021, I sold some properties, bought a house and invested in others to keep my money rolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My daily routine now consists of reading, going for walks, watching TV and writing my poems. My father knew Urdu, Persian and Arabic and loved poetry, too. I got my interest in poetry from him. I have written five Urdu poetry books, the first of which was published in 2000 and the latest in 2019. I wish to spend as much of my time as possible with my family \u2014 and to write poetry for the next generation. \u2014<em>&nbsp;as told to<a href=\"\/author\/annam-lodhi\/\"> Annam Lodhi<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side \">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Russia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">The retirement age is currently 61.5 for men and 56.5 for women, but Russia is raising those ages to 65 and 60, respectively, by 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">146.2 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEDIAN AGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">39.6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION OVER 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">15.7%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDP PER CAPITA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">$28,220<\/p>\n\n\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"right-side\" >\n              <img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/russia.gif\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">        <div class=\"left-side\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/russia.jpg\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"right-side\" >\n          <div class=\"country-main\">\n            \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vladimir Studennikov&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My life is good. I live in a one-bedroom apartment in Kupchino, south of St. Petersburg, with my wife, who is a retired historian and museum worker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I retired in 2006, when I was 60, I began receiving my pension but didn\u2019t spend it. I worked as a co-director, made two documentaries, and went on expeditions with different film crews. With the Covid-19 restrictions I\u2019m forced to self-isolate, so I haven\u2019t been working since March 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up in the artistic sphere by chance. After school, I went to a medical college and worked in the artillery academy in Leningrad. I had been working at the electrotechnical department there for four or five years and didn\u2019t plan any changes. But my then-girlfriend convinced me to join her on a trip to Yaroslavl, northeast of Moscow, as she planned to enter a theater school there. I joined her, passed all my exams and was accepted to my own surprise!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduation, I worked as an actor in the Vorkuta State Drama Theater for about three years. Later I came back to Leningrad and joined the Lenfilm studio in 1978, the second largest in the Soviet film industry. I worked as an actor, filmmaker\u2019s assistant, then as a co-director.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn\u2019t really preparing for my retirement. I was just saving money because my salary was high in the years before I retired, equivalent to about $1,000 per month. I didn\u2019t even plan to buy my own apartment. I lived in the communal flat where I was raised, and it was fine. It had just three rooms, one of which I inherited from my mother.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I met a lawyer during some filming. We chatted about our lives, and she was surprised with my housing situation. She was eager to help and connected me with a reliable realtor. I privatized my room, sold it and put that money and my savings into renovating our own flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back in 2005, I paid about $25,000 for our one-bedroom apartment of 40 square meters. These days, that type of flat costs about $66,000.&nbsp;Before the pandemic, I was earning a monthly salary of 35,000 rubles ($462) from my film and TV work, plus some compensation from the state for my utility bills. My pension is 17,000 rubles ($224) per month, but my breadwinner is my wife. Together we have about 70,000 rubles ($924) each month, which is perfect for us. <em>\u2014 as told to <a href=\"\/author\/elena-bobrova\">Elena Bobrova<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">          <div class=\"left-side \">\n              <div class=\"inner-content\">\n                  \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">United States<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">The retirement age in the U.S. is increasing from 65 to 67 for people born in 1960 and later, but people who wait until age 70 receive higher monthly payments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">329.5 million<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MEDIAN AGE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">38.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>POPULATION OVER 65<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">16.9%<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GDP PER CAPITA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">$63,285<\/p>\n\n\n              <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"right-side\" >\n              <img class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/usa.gif\" \/>\n          <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n<div class=\"content-section\">        <div class=\"left-side\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/rethinkq.adp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/usa.jpg\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"right-side\" >\n          <div class=\"country-main\">\n            \n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Albert Guffanti<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MIAMI, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I still work as a lawyer, as I have for 46 years,<strong> <\/strong>and plan on doing so for the foreseeable future. I flunked chemistry, so I couldn\u2019t be a doctor \u2014 joking, joking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Law has provided me with a good life to provide for myself and my family. As I\u2019ve gotten older, I\u2019ve taken fewer cases in the courtroom and more in appeals that I handle from my home office, although I still find myself in the courtroom from time to time to help other attorneys, and I still field calls from judges. I always enjoyed being in the courtroom and the uncertainty it had, but I find it better to just work from home now.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with this, I\u2019m still working nearly every day into my 70s. Most of the work I\u2019m doing is in parental rights, criminal defense and dependency, things of that sort. The work itself has been memorable. I\u2019ve helped overturn local legislation that I saw as unfit for law. I\u2019ve acted as the lawyer for a few small bands and helped them sign contracts, and the people I\u2019ve met through defense were definitely interesting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I broke into law, I was a member of the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, I served as a radio operator and helped direct airstrikes to plumes of smoke. I rarely got on the plane, but it was an experience when I did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vietnam itself was memorable, but one moment that sticks out is the time we were attacked on base. Everyone was in the mess hall to watch \u201cDirty Dozen,\u201d<em> <\/em>but I had already seen it, so I went back to my bunk. That was when grenades and rockets hit the base. I dove under my bunk during the attack. I didn\u2019t put in for a Purple Heart because all I did was scrape my knee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My time in the military allowed me the chance to do my schooling, using my GI Bill benefits for everything I could.&nbsp;As I\u2019ve gotten older, I just want to appreciate my time. I\u2019ve paid into a SEP IRA and have enough to live comfortably. At this point, I just like to keep things simple. I play Pac-Man<em>,<\/em> shoot some hoops and play ping pong.

I taught English and filled in for other subjects such as life sciences occasionally. I loved it. Though sometimes I wasn\u2019t getting paid on time. I was paid about 800,000 to 1 million kwacha per month during my teaching days, but now that amount would be 800 to 1,000 kwacha ($45 to $57) after Zambia knocked off three zeroes in 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I retired from my teaching job at age 43 in 1989, because my husband also retired. We moved back to Lusaka because this is where we had our house and children. I bought three plots of land to accommodate my house and anything else that I wanted to do after retirement to supplement my living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am keeping myself busy with the neighborhood children. I looked at my teaching background, and I decided to set up this informal daycare for the children of caretakers. This neighborhood of Lusaka has a lot of caretakers who look after other people\u2019s homes. Most of the parents around here can\u2019t afford to take their children to formal schools or daycares. I charge 50 kwacha ($2.86) per child per month. Most private schools cost at least 300 kwacha per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my career, I contributed a monthly payment to my pension scheme until I retired. I waited for some time to get my retirement package \u2014 along with many other retirees, I was paid in 2020. I didn\u2019t get every ngwee they owed me, but the government said they would keep some to give me every month until my death. I get 300 kwacha ($17.14) per month from my pension. It isn&#8217;t enough for me. I have not yet been paid for my relocation package and leave days that were supposed to be given to me as soon as I retired. If not for this land and the daycare, I would be destitute with just 300 kwacha per month.&nbsp;My wish for the future is to see us old people mentioned in the national budget. We are responsible for the goodness you see around you. We educated the politicians, but we never get included in national budgets. It\u2019s like we don\u2019t exist.
