The ship has already sailed on this one for me. I’ll be working a long time.

Me too.
What we should push for is:
ALL gov’t pensions be rolled into “The Social Security Trust Fund” then we can retire at 55 too.
That’s “fair”.
I hear ya...Went through a divorce a few years ago. Took it on the chin in order to keep my home and kids living with me. Figured I am selling my home in a couple months, paying off every single penny of debt and the left over from sale goes to retirement investing and I'll max out my 401k contributions (I am 44). Hopefully I can retire at 65 and just refine .925 into .999 and sell some bullion for play cash.
The key is to figure out how to work for yourself by the time you’re 40. Because once you turn 40, companies will look for any excuse to get rid of you.
Yea... me too.
Nothing like a divorce with alimony for 8 years and 1/2 of your retirement gone to boot. Happened in 2006.
I am not whining. In fact, I am a much happier man today. I will just need to plan on working for longer timeframe.
