Over 70 and working

And I'm working, mainly because I enjoy it, badly paid as an RA programming for a university. Also did a computing MSc at about 45 since nearly all my generation just slid into IT. We could contribute a lot more, but at 50 in the City they wanted me on the junk pile, so I left and started freelancing again.
