Apart from impacting on everyone it seems really unfair to women who have already (in my wife's case) been forced to wait an extra seven years to collect their state pension after the last 'realignment' exercise.
Other than that, the one bright spot in my life is that that still love my 75!!!

wow hang on, unfair to women, women wanted equality and when it came to pension age, they got it, lol
I can see it as money saving but in the last 20 months the government have spent a fortune, money has to be saved or gained from somewhere. I don't think I'm bothered as I pay now so it is different to having something for free and then having to pay for it.
working until 67, for some that may be fine but personally I think that is too old, not many years until you are sitting in the rocking chair waiting to push up daises.
