That usually doesn't go super well [1]. Are you good with delaying your retirement 24 months for the greater good? If so, do you think that your fellow citizens would be?

Conversely, I think a lot of people would like to delay retirement and continue working, but they can't because they got let go after they were deemed to be "too old". It's a pretty common occurrence for people in their 60s. And then since your options aren't great you may as well be retired.
