TOLEDO -- Even if you are employed, more than likely you will be working a lot later in life than previous generations.

And one Paris think tank thinks that's a good thing, suggesting raising the retirement age from 65 to 70.

The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development says governments around the world are going to run out of money if something doesn't change.

That's already happening in the U.S., where Social Security has started paying out more in benefits than it takes in.

In fact, the Congressional Budget Office is already talking about gradually boosting the retirement age to 70.

What do you think about raising the retirement age to 70?  Good or Bad idea?  Do you think you would be able to retire at 65 if the age is not increased?  Post your comments below or on WNWO's Facebook Fanpage.
