A bill in California’s Assembly could likely push the retirement pension age to 70. Assembly Bill 1383 would raise costs for local governments across the state if approved. The change would impact millions of retirees planning to rely on state benefits. In the UK, five million people encounter an earlier rise in the pension age, shifting up seven years sooner than expected. Experts now suggest workers need $2 million saved for retirement in the next decade, significantly higher than current averages. California’s bill adds pressure on public budgets while the nation considers longer-term solvency.
