Busdude,you are obviously in the wrong job! Believe it or not some chaps,even "crusty old 55 year olds" actually enjoy flying-that's why I became a pilot all those years ago! So don't assume something to which you are noy privy ie reasons for carrying on after 55 etc.Some of us ,believe it or not, are still with our first wives &have probably enough dosh too-work that one out!
