At age 74, I can agree with the energy thing. Travel? Nope. Too tired for the hassles and the upset of my system...I need my routine these days. Adventure? Much more fun when in your 20's and 30's.
Bottom line...I definitely had more energy at 65 than I do at 74, and when the decline begins, it seems to increase rapidly.
Now on the money thing? All depends on the importance you attach to money...
