Dude im in my 30s and I hate moving. You cant just up and move to a different state that easily, especially at that age.
Everyone hates moving. The other option is living above your means, which is what these folks are doing which translates into an 81 year old having to work. This also didn't happen one day out of the blue. They've been living above their means for decades and they've had decades to see this would be the result of their choices.
