They need to hurry up with this, I'm not getting any younger and I haven't saved enough for retirement :O

  Yeah but if they extend your life won't you need even more for retirement?

    If I'm healthy enough to keep working, retirement isn't really necessary. Also, given enough time, I ought to be able to amass a self-sustaining pile of wealth and then I can retire :)

      If everyone does that, nobody is making the things you want to buy with that wealth pile. Not until we also get enough automation to also have UBI.

        I don't think that's a problem in their scenario, since the situation is leveraging life extension to work past retirement age. Working until age 80 and living out retirement until 120 would mean a vastly expanded labor pool, unless you're assuming everyone stops having kids.

    This is technically true, but once you plan for a 60 year retirement, going out 90 or 100 years is not as difficult as lasting the first 30 years. I think withdrawing 3% a year would have lasted you the entire time since the 1880s (last 140 years of the stock market)

  Many studies suggest it's easier to prevent ageing from the beginning rather than de-ageing old people :(

    Where can I find more about this?

      Aging is basically cumulative damage to your body and its' ability to repair itself, especially mitochondrial DNA
