What element do the potential solutions of raising the retirement age, increasing payroll taxes, and reducing benefit payments all share?

All three proposals involve a financial sacrifice. Raising the retirement age means waiting longer to receive benefits, increasing payroll taxes means paying more, and reducing benefit payments means receiving less. So they each require someone to give up money and/or benefits; they would not necessarily completely solve the problem or affect only people who are already retired.
