The financial impact of this is an interesting angle to me.
Considering that many of us hope to retire (or at least not have to work a stressful job) a lot of effort goes into saving up enough money to last just ~20 years after finishing work.
I'm not sure how most of us would be able to ammass sufficient wealth to be comfortably retired even for 60 years (ie live to "just" 120-130 years of age).

- SkyMarshal 10y agoThe point of longevity is that you retain your mental and physical facilities far longer, so it's almost a certainty people would continue working until the last ~20 years of their life, just like now. You'll still only need to save for the last ~20yrs of life, but you'll have a longer time working during which to do so.
