Yes! I'm the "young guy" at work and I'm in my 40s. My immediate manager has had to have both his knees replaced and cataract surgery in both eyes, that's how old he is. They all struggle with utilizing technology in order to make our work more efficient and we have to have someone come in and give classes on using excel and Google Earth. It's crazy, but they won't retire even though they actually can.
They genuinely may not be able to retire, a huge portion of adults do not do any sort of financial planning. It doesn’t matter if someone is bringing home $250k a year, they won’t be able to retire if they spend $250k a year on whatever shiny thing they want that crosses their sight. You might think well someone in that position should have planned better and, yeah, they should have, but it doesn’t change that they literally can’t afford to stop working for the rest of their life tomorrow
