From 2040, Danish people born after 31 December 1970 will be eligible to retire at 70 years old.

Denmark is set to have the highest retirement age in Europe after its parliament adopted a law raising it to 70 by 2040.

The retirement age at 70 will apply to all people born after 31 December 1970.

    Having relatives that died when they were 70 and seeing stuff like this is quite depressing.

      My ex’s grandma slept 5 hours a night, worked a full time seamstress job and cooked and cleaned and raised her kids and grandkids. She enjoyed just 1 year of retirement before Covid hit.

        Yeah, we need to make sure to live our life now and do what we want. Work less, live below our means to save up, take a chance and travel or whatever it is one wants to do, if we are able to. Don’t postpone it. I’ll live my life as if I won’t get a retirement at all.
