Comforting for new times

There is a moment when you hear talks about retirement more and more often. Although you are not yet there, you inadvertently listen to them. Some subtract months and shake their hands, saying what they will do with their leisure time. Others look at the end of the business trip with fear, and for them is a hobby without which they cannot live. Like other turning points, you need to prepare for retirement, find new joys and revive old friendships, connoisseurs say. Most pensioners then repeat the same claim: I don’t have time.

As life span is longer and medicine is progressing day by day, there is even a small hope that new generations that will work longer will have any of the third life span. Who knows, maybe they can even count on the fourth. They are already coming to Denmark, where they have passed a law this week, according to which by 2040 the age of retirement from today’s 67 years will increase to 70 years. This will be the highest retirement age in Europe.

The Danes have already changed their retirement age for five years and are currently retiring at 67. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced last year that she is ready to study the retirement system again when the retirement age is determined at 70. Who knows where the prime minister will be in 2040 and how effective the 70-year-old employees will be. In the editorial board Sunday We have announced the future some time ago: if we have memory problems, we will certainly be mistakenly published by an old article. We were comforted by the thought that our readers will certainly forget that they had already read it.

If there are no newspapers over time, artificial intelligence will surely thrive, communicating with us every day. Some have already found a listener in it who can even advise. At least someone will sympathize with those who will work until the bitter end.
