Living with less is far different than squeaking by. I wouldn't want my parents living a mean existence in their 80's and activities for most have greatly declined by the time they're in their eighties. That doesn't make your choice wrong, we just have different goals for the end of life living.
I personally think most elderly living in mixed age society think and do better. Could it be they are sharper being exposed to younger minds and experiences?
