What's going to happen to them? Thr government can arbitrarily set the "retirement age" wherever it wants but a lot of these people are going to be breaking down before they can get their pittance from social security.

It really is the Forgotten Generation and I see this eventually getting out of hand after the boomers croak. I think gen x has this weird belief that boomers will still come through for them.

China raised the retirement age on its own "Gen X" (note: I realize Chinamen don't have Gens):

The new retirement age was announced on 13 September 2024 and is now 63 for men, 58 for female civil servants and 55 for female workers. It took effect on 1 January 2025. Previously, the retirement age was 60 for men, 55 for female civil servants, and 50 for female workers.[33] The 2024 change marked the first increase of the retirement age since the 1950s.[34] The retirement age will apply to men born in and after 1965, female civil servants born in and after 1970 and female workers born in or after 1975. The retirement age increase is based on the individual’s year and month of birth, as it increases by 1 month for every 4-month-block months of birth for males and female civil servants and 1 month for every 2-month-block for female workers until 2040. It is expected to be fully phased in for male workers born in September 1976, female civil servants born in September 1981 and female workers born in November 1984. The New regulation also stipulates that those affected by the change may voluntarily reduce their retirement age by up to 3 years if they have made the minimum length of pension payments, or delay their retirements by up to 3 years if permitted by the employer. The minimum pension payment period will also be increased from 15 years to 20 from 2030.[35][36]

makes sense. i have 3 Gen X siblings and i'm not sure if any of them are saving for retirement. But the one gets military disability and owns his house, so he doesnt need to. and the other is married to a jew in tech who likely handles that. at least one of them definitely doesnt save tho, altho he'll inherit some money from my parents eventually.
