Less strain on the one that works, more time for people that retire.

We have had examples of people working right up until they were 100. Yes, it's spectacularly rare, but studies are certainly showing that the longer you're "able" to work, will make you healthier than your compatriots. I have no problems with well-qualified people (especially if they keep up with modern technological advances) working on into their eighties without obvious impairment.

And please, no more talk of bullets at 75 . I'm two-thirds there already.
