Take the time to ask a few of the working elderly when out, "why they are working"? Most I know it's not because they are bored and wanted to stay busy! It's because of expenses like health care and needing to eat.

The local McDonald's gives a voucher for a meal after four hours work. I have given rides to a couple of the workers in there seventies that do not drive any more. They walk over a mile one way rain or shine to work in the mornings. Had to go back to work to pay bills.
