Tons of places won't hire "older" people because they're afraid they won't "fit in" with younger co-workers. Either that or they claim you're "overqualified" or that you wouldn't be satisfied with the job.
Also, as far as wandering the world, bumming favors from strangers.........Being in your 20's it works, because you can play off the whole starving student image, even if you're not actually a student. There's always other 20-somethings you can party with, because they're single and stuff. Doesn't work as well when you're older --- people would probably just pity you, and/or avoid you.

a 40 something doing that would seem creepy or make you think hes just a homeless bum or some sort of criminal.
