Yes, but only where society ultimately practices contraception.

The longer you live, the more you can benefit from compound interest. Also it takes less recources to support yourself once your offspring are out on their own.
As long as longevity also means retained function, you should be able to earn a living. Hopefully it would also mean periodic renewal of appearance. Wouldn't be pretty if you kept aging hundreds of years and your ears and nose never stopped growing!
