that was the whole idea of soc sec back then.. life expectancy was like 68 or so. i remember back in 60's people wouldn't take early retirement and worked right up until age 65. a year later most had passed on. a few may still be living but 99% have long departed.

That observation and paying soc sec motivated me towards the goal of early retirement. g
