Good chance I will be in that position, so that is what I plan for. If that means working longer and harder: my choice, my problem.
To be fair human life expectancy continues to increase as time goes on so most likely most of us will live well past 65. However, there’s no reason you should seriously be worried about running out of money. If you are then that’s a personal problem and you need to reevaluate the current lifestyle you’re living and live below your means.
