Comments on increase in state pension age

"The acceleration of changes to the State Pension is not a surprise, as life expectancies continue to increase. Within retirement, life expectancy has almost doubled over the last century. While it may not be a particularly cheery message for the festive season, there is unfortunately no magic wand that can be waived when it comes to pensions. Simply put, the only way to avoid having to work longer to fund your retirement is to save more and save earlier."  "It is likely these changes will increase the blurring of the lines between working and retirement with more and more people continuing to work even when they are receiving pension income."
