A lot of old people have been comfortable their entire adult lives.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you are young.

Just on of the points would be how different the world looked like 60 years ago.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'comfortable'. But let's assume you mean 'figured out life'. I used to think that people knew what they were doing as they were getting older.

I'm still 'young', my wife and I are late 20s, early 30s. And I have given up the idea on 'figuring it out'.

This. Right here. Currently in my late 20's. I have nothing figured out, and I stopped trying to figure things out a while ago.
Have you asked them? You might be surprised.

Everyone's got problems.

Then it follows that even more young people than that have been comfortable their whole lives.
