A bill in California’s Assembly could likely push the state pension age to 70. Assembly Bill 1383 would raise costs for local governments nationwide if approved. The change would affect millions of retirees intending to rely on state benefits. In the UK, five million people encounter an earlier rise in the pension age, advancing up seven years sooner than expected. Experts now suggest workers need $2 million saved for retirement by the time they turn 65, well beyond current averages. California’s bill adds strain on public budgets while the nation discusses longer-term solvency.
