i think the one of the hardest things is when people have to take massive pay cuts as their older, it hits the ego hard. men especially place a lot of value on income, and identity is usually whatever the job is.
I'm self-employed so things are a bit different, but i think we all become basically a bit invisible in the 5th decade
As an educator, I sometimes feel bad because I make a lot less than other people my age who work in the private sector. But my wife reassures me that I'll be glad for my job when I'm in my 50s and 60s and still have stable income in a job I can work even into my 70s if I want to.
