In this episode of The Asset Preservation Hour, financial advisor Stewart Willis returns from Greece with fresh insight and a tan—but the conversation quickly turns serious as he and co-host Spike Spengel discuss Denmark’s new plan to raise its state pension age to 70. Could a similar shift be coming for Social Security in the U.S.? Stewart breaks down what a higher retirement age could mean for different generations, especially those still in their peak earning years.
The discussion covers the challenges of extending work for physically demanding jobs, the need to plan for longer retirements, and why income planning is critical when lifespans are increasing. You’ll also learn how to coordinate Social Security timing with other income sources, avoid costly IRA rollover mistakes, and create a written financial plan that protects both spouses, now and after one passes.
Whether you’re five years from retirement or still in your 50s and building toward it, this episode is packed with practical strategies to help you retire with confidence, even if the rules change.
