To those in their late 50s/early 60s....

......I met someone the other day I hadn't seen for a while and I asked her if she was still working. She's around 60 I suppose and when I saw her last she was talking about wanting more time to see her grandchildren. She got very indignant and said "What do you mean 'am I STILL working????' "

Is this an insulting question? I wasn't implying she was too old to work, just that she might have taken early retirement. Btw, this is in the UK and she's probably not state pension age but many people have private pensions.

How would you feel if someone asked you this???
