Senior members of society can often be more financially
secure, whether they are still working or have retired. This
is generally true for developed countries where they have
the purchasing power to indulge in travel. Those that still
work, whether out of desire or necessity, can sometimes
be in relatively high-paying jobs. Those seniors that enjoy
the benefit of a generous pension may also have enjoyed
growth in stock portfolio or seen significant gains in
housing prices over the last few decades.
