The longer one works, the more assets one acquires. It stands to reason that older people would have more assets than younger people. That's what most live on.

Here is some 1998 data on income. Does it surprise you to learn that the elderly are the lowest paid workers?

AGE
25 to 34 years, women 25,556 - men 31,262
35 to 44 years, women 27,186 - men 37,663
45 to 54 years, women 28,424 - men 41,583
55 to 64 years, women 26,144 - men 40,654
