So how old is old? It’s not what it used to be...



Here’s some good news: Old age is coming later than it used to... 

A recent poll asked Baby Boomers “How old is old?” It's not 50 or 60 anymore - it's closer to 70 or 80. 75% of Baby Boomers, who are between the ages of 57 and 65, consider themselves to be middle-aged or younger. Young adults surveyed said 60 is the beginning of old age.

Overall, the Baby Boomers were pretty upbeat about the future. Most of them expect to live longer than their parents with a better quality of life in old age. Their top 3 worries are losing their independence, losing their memory and paying medical bills.
