No, I never will be glad for those extra 5 years. Those 5 years were stolen from me.
Our career is at the same place it would've been 5 years ago, just we're now older. We HAVE to work to 65 to get to the same place we would've been at 60.
Age 65 didn't give everyone 5 more years at the top. It gave everyone 5 more years where they were. For those at the top of the food chain, it was great. For everyone else, not so much.
