Thanks a lot gentleman. 65 is the historical retirement age (It becomes 67 depending on the year of birth).
I am fit for final retirement after two years of early retirement and six years of part time retirement training

Didn't Bismarck bring in a pension at 65 because he thought most people would be dead by that age? or was it 71?
Happy birthday and don't think about it.

In model railroading, there are between six and two hundred ways of performing a given task.
Most modellers can get two of them to work.

The brand new law at that time was public pension at age of 70. The average age was much lower and the pension fund was in great shape. 27 active workers payed for 1 retiree.
65 was the historical retirement date of my generation. It is now increasing to 67 and may be even more up later when funding get even harder.
