A lot of those lost most of their pension benefits or were furloughed during the lost decade. They welcomed age 65. Those at the front end who turned 60 right before the change were the ones who got shafted. A good friend was mandatory retired after losing most of his pension. Then age 65 kicked in when he was age 60 and 2 months.
