Where I live, most of these old people are rich, and very well off.
Some still work, but not because they have too.

I know their life experiences are to be learned from.

Mabey it's not so much them but the way society, Baby boomer generation, and the old generation, have made the government and the country.

We have people starving in trhe street, or just bearly getting by, and the government sends millions out in "aid" to other countries, mabey we should take care of our own first, then consider the rest of the world.
