No. If people were being actively excluded purely on the basis of age, that would be ageism. The fact that some people plan better than others is just life.

- derefr 13y agoWhat is "age," practically, other than the accretion of responsibilities? I don't think any of the people who worry about being impacted by ageism are speaking about age per se. They're more concerned with... let's call it "overtime-ism": a strong bias in favor of people who will be willing to work overtime. The video-game industry, Japanese megacorporation culture, and a large segment of silicon valley are all afflicted with overtime-ists, which seems to have a good overlap with where allegations of "ageism" are aimed.
