With the oldest of the Baby Boomers turning 65 this year, the question of when one becomes a senior citizen is a topic of interest to a new generation.
Not in my opinion its not. I think 65 is the age that one is considered a true Senior Citizen. Although some 55 years olds look and act more like 75 year olds and some 65 year olds look more like 50 year olds. The general outlook these days is that 60 y/o is the new 40.
