This is one of my main concerns. A lot of countries are talking about raising their retirement age, and I just think to myself, which tech company is going to hire a 68-year-old? Sure, I could transition into management, but my company just laid off a number of middle-managers and the ones left are expected to do more than just manage (code, design, etc.). So I'm not sure that's all that safe either. I like learning new things, and I hope to continue that into my 60s (and beyond), but I have to imagine picking up new skills will get harder as I age. | |||||||||||||||||

> A lot of countries are talking about raising their retirement age This is solely done to reduce/delay pension payments by pushing the old unemployed into lower social security / forcing them to live off of their savings. No one in any industry is looking for geratric 70 year olds. | |||||||||||||||||
