How old are you to be a “Senior Citizen”?
Question : How old are you to be a “Senior Citizen”?
It used to be 65 but things are changing so much. AARP accepts people at 50, most “Active Adult Communities” require you be 55. So as people live longer it seems like the age should increase to meet “Senior Citizen” definition.

I think AARP starts mailing out their cards for folks who are just 50 (gee, happy birthday to you…) because it’s the YOUNGEST age they can possibly get away with categorizing folks as “retired” or “senior”; they want those membership fees from as many as possible!
I was incensed, however, when they sent a membership card for me right along with my husband’s. I was 43 at the time. Not amusing.
As noted above, rules differ, but I think 60 is probably the outer limit of middle-aged.

Unfortunately different businesses use different ages. Some movies it’s 60 some 65 etc. Some restaurants say 55; Medicare says 65; SS says 62 so go figure.
What I have come to realize is that my son is now OLDER than me! I am 58 — but don’t act it or feel it. My son is 36 and has more aches and pains, needs more sleep etc than I ever did. He is more serious about life.So I figure somehow, I am younger than him!

I had a friend that when were 40 she kept referring to us as Senior Citizens. I finally told her to speak for herself, I was not a senior citizen. Now when its killing us for health insurance, I keep hoping to get 65 so we can get Medicare. Its the sh%ts to wish yourself older on account of insurance. I do believe at age 65 you are a senior citizen. But your only as old as you feel.
