Funny, I'm also 58. I have also hit the ageism wall (although I'm currently at a place where I'm not the oldest, but then the software is also decades old). My plan is to build a bigger war chest while I can then go back full time to my first love, writing Free software. It's what used to be called "retirement" back when businesses were not run by 20-year-olds who plan to live forever.

Cool! You have my full support.

I work harder than I ever have in my life, and love it.

Isn't this also a bit ageist

It would be ageist if it was a prejudice and not a sad fact.
