Which isn't even half the age of the oldest person to ever live. I think quality of life at 60 varies a lot person to person. Of course your physical capabilities will have peaked, but that doesn't at all imply your ability to enjoy life has. Heck, I was reading a 100-year old recently completed a marathon, which is more than most my age (23) are capable of doing. I'm sure there are plenty of people who had a miserable youth but had very enjoyable years toward the end of their life.
