Why do old people use the excuse "I'm on a fixed income?"

Old people seem to love to try to get out of paying for things by using the excuse "I'm on a fixed income." But, in a way, aren't we all?

"Sonny, can you mow my yard for $5, you know I'm on a fixed income?"
"Sorry, we can't leave a tip, we're on a fixed income."

What does "fixed income" mean, or is it just a convenient excuse?

It means they didn't save for retirement and living off the government.

Because old people think they built this dump; but they want to rent it, not own it, because it is easier to make the young folks pay it forward.

Wait until these 'Boomers stop hoarding the labor market and go onto their fixed incomes. You'll be begging for this generation of wrinkles. They'll want it free,

A fixed income is self-explanatory.
