If the habitable zone isn't too close to the star that any planetary body wouldn't be tidally locked and if they don't send out regular radioactive flares that would pose a challenge to life, they might indeed prove to be a longer lasting home than larger stars like our sun.
But with that the life span of a class M-K sun can easily extend the age of the current universe several times.

With exception of those that get abducted from time to time to undergo alien experiments of course.
