The problem with aging is that you have to watch the next generation make the same mistakes - only now those mistakes come with much greater consequences. It isn't as easy to get a job or education or health care (even with ACA). Its much harder to raise family and pay is virtually unchanged from 1970s while all other cost of living costs have soared.
