• It is estimated that raising the retirement age to 70 would cut the shortfall by about 36%. But this proposal has some drawbacks. Women and men who have worked jobs that require manual labor all of their lives may not physically be able to do work until they are 70 years old.

• There is this idea that appealing to youth is the only way forward. But that is no longer the case. Youth is not everything. Now we have all the baby-boomers in their 60s, like me, who are actively engaged in life - we're not retiring, we're not just being put out to grass once we hit 60.

• As time passes on
  I turn the next page
  To discover a new me
  while I continue to age.
  I may no longer be
  Who I was long ago
  But I still can matter -
  That much I know.
  With a new set of tools
  I have gathered from time -
  I keep looking forward
  To more mountains to climb.
  My best is not over
  As the skeptics might say -
  I just learn how to conquer
  In a much wiser way.
  So don't sell me short -
  I am not nearly done -
  I CAN STILL MATTER -
  I've only just begun.

• I actually think the whole concept of retirement is a bit stupid, so yes, I do want to do something else.

• Social Security is a solemn promise to kupuna like my 88-year-old mother that they can rely on the retirement they've earned. While I'm glad to see our seniors receive an increase for the second year in a row, I wish the cost-of-living adjustment could be larger. However, every little bit helps make a difference in these tough economic times.
