It seems protesters love fire, not only in France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 The retirement age is proposed to increase by two years to 64. The change will be gradual, increasing by three months per year from September until 2030. Seems reasonable if you ask me! But again, those who have less, and often have bad health, pays the price for the entire society! They always loose in both ends! So happy I got partly out of it at 47, and secured as long I live, at least how it is for now. <deleted> always happens, so better be prepared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no legal retirement age. Retirement is totally at the discretion of the individual. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to wait till I was 65 before I could claim my pittance that isn't enough to rent a decent place. Those French protestors need to get a life IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they already have a life and don’t want to follow the example you yourself are setting and have outline above. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they have already set light to all the wheelie bins and most of the rest of the street furniture, and hurled them at the gendarmes!
