I'm far more likely to throttle back than call it quits when I hit my early 60s.
I agree with you, but not everyone that is in their 60's is senior. If your a mid pack seniority number(perhaps a military guy that did a full career and got on at 40-50 yrs old) its not as nice as a civvy that was hired in the early to mid 20's. Those guys have it golden.
