Yep, they expected people to live around 68-70 back then so it'd be a nice extended vacation to enjoy the end of their lives and have family help support them; since people tended to have more free time and lived nearby or with each other.
Now both parents must work full time to afford their bills and the kids have to spend more time on their education if they're to have a chance, especially as they grow older when they would otherwise have been able to help around the home. And the old generation, instead of moving in, move away to another state.
Now people are regulerly living past 100, which is almost a third of their life not working, which is also the most costly part too; which could partly be alleviated if they lived in the home of their kids instead of needing round the clock nurses/caretakers.
