If you read my quote i said "here" meaning on this board.
After all the context of the discussion is a bike tour. My point was that quite a few people here could afford a 17k bike tour but we have better sense and taste!

No "most" people 55+ certainly do not have $17K to blow on a bicycle tour. Most people nearing retirement age have nothing to not more than a few thousand dollars saved for retirement.
At 59 I am one of the exceptions. I am pretty much set but no way could I justify spending that kind of cash on a single trip.
