Senior citizens are getting younger. Why 50 is the new 65...


How old is a senior citizen? 

That depends on who you ask. According to U.S. News & World Report, there is no defined age when an American becomes a senior citizen. Many people consider it to be age 64. You can start taking Social Security at age 62 and at age 65, most Americans are eligible for Medicare. 

However, you can start getting some senior perks years before that. Some chains offer senior discounts at age 55, including Dress Barn, Hallmark, IHOP and Dunkin Donuts. Amtrak and Greyhound give you a break at age 62. Join AARP, and start enjoying the old-age savings at the tender age of 50.
