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.
If you are a Senior Citizen starting at age 50 then you are only a young adult for what 10 years? Then middle aged at 30-50 and a Senior citizen for the next ...? 50 years (give or take a few)? In all fairness, middle age should be about 45-70 and Senior Citizen abt 70- 100. There can be a vast difference in health and mobility of a 50 year old as compared to a 100 yr old person.
