I will say this about the older guys--and I'm making some sweeping generalizations based on a small sample set of my own parents, aunts/uncles--it must be kind of exciting to be nearing retirement or be in retirement. My dad for the most part has been retired for 2 years now. He does a consulting gig here and there for fun. Putzes around the house and plays golf whenever he wants. My mom is retiring next January. They both will have healthy pensions to last them through. The same goes for most of my relatives. My folks take one major world trip just about every year now. They're basically in maintenance mode. They surely deserve the fruits of their labor.
I've got nearly another 30 working years ahead of me and that's with more than 15 working years behind me. No pension (have a decent 401K but who knows what the future holds) to speak of and I've got college for the kids to think about, mortgage, what am I going to work at for another 30 years, ACK!
OK, now I'm bummed at not being older.Comment

Anyway, about 3:20 min, he's describing the beginning of his mid-life crisis. I think he's talking to me. I guess I'm ahead of schedule.

the poll is closed and the results are in. 93 people voted.
Overwhelmingly Male. No one responded that they were female.
Overwhelmingly (more than 80%) are in the 40-69 age group.
No one responded that they were under thirty at all. That includes the 20-29 group and the 10-19 group.
Those are some sobering facts if we are looking at doing things to attract more people. We clearly do not appeal to several large demographic groups.Loring in Katy, TX USA
If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
