One in every four adults would choose to take the State pension six years earlier, even if it meant they received €60 less a week from it, new research has found.
But less than one in five said they would stay at work until they were 70 in order to get an additional €60 a week, the results show.
The survey, carried out among 1,000 adults, also found more than half of those surveyed are happy with the status quo when it comes to receiving the State pension at 66."It is notable just how many people are satisfied with the status quo," said Mark Reilly, Pension Proposition Lead at Royal London Ireland.
The strongest desire to access the State pension early was found among those in the 35-44 age bracket, with 34% backing the idea.They, on the other hand, were the least likely to be willing to wait until the age of 70 before getting the pension, if it meant they would receive a higher amount.
