Ask any old military veteran. To old to rock'n'roll, to poor to rest. You have 10 years to earn enough money for retirement. Is that a reason to risk an adventure, that could earn that money? Also children out of school, wife divorced, thats an other reason to try a new start somewhere far away from the old shit.
A balancing rule is, that older characters earn less experience, and therefor younger learn faster by adventure.

MegaTraveller had one but I don't think it actually had any relation to age or existing skill levels, just whether the character accomplished tasks or not. Anyway, Traveller was unusual in that it used age in a slightly meaningful way, but it definitely got away from the trope of all PCs being young and/or inexperienced.
