The average American has hardly anything saved for retirement. So imagine living a spartan existence while your friends die off around you (if you even had many, men in the US largely don't), your body fails you in more and more ways every day. And it's not like you live in Manhattan and can go sit in central park and play chess or feed the birds with other people like yourself. You live in some rural area or lower tier city that is basically completely car dependent. There is no where to go, nothing to do, you are completely alone. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
