A sense of time running out:

Daniel Levitin:

"And although it's well documented that older people tend to have smaller social networks and reduced interests, and are less drawn to novelty than younger people, the older people are just as happy as the younger ones - they've found what they like and they spend their time doing it. Research shows clearly that this is not due to aging per se but to a sense of time running out. Tell a twenty-year-old that he has only five years left to live and he tends to become more like a seventy-five-year-old - not particularly interested in new experiences, instead favoring spending time with family and friends and taking time for familiar pleasures."
