There's a selection effect on such wishes, though. Only a small fraction of humans ① survive to such an age and ② retire with "privileges and accumulations"; many who would desire such a goal do not achieve it.
I don't follow. Everyone has wishes, the people who retire without privileges and accumulations tend to have started without privileges and accumulations but the opposite is not true (the elderly are wealthier than the young).
