I accept that not everyone else has the same outlook as me, but I plan to do the sustainable thing. What old people who can't do anything anymore have done for millenia before social security and "retirement". Have my children take care of me. Well that's plan B, plan A is to become very wealthy from the things I create and live off that. And who said someone has to hire me? There are plenty of people here who work for themselves (or at least their customers). With webapps they don't even know what you look like, you could be a 90 year old dressed as Gandalf and it wouldn't matter as long as the sites good.

You're assuming that your children will be able to, will be wealthy enough to, will be willing to, will be alive long enough to do that. Also you're assuming that you will be mentally capable of working in your 60's. That's a lot of assumptions which I wouldn't be comfortable with in my life. Not trying to say everything bad will happen, but that's a lot of assumptions... at some points you might be left with no support from yourself or family - and a lot of people find themselves in situations like that.
