So how old is old?

Share |

Wednesday, October 31, 2012

It's not 50. It's not 60. It's 70. Or maybe even 80.

That's the word from an Associated Press-LifeGoesStrong.com poll of baby boomers, who are not only not particularly concerned about dying, but also insist they aren't even old. Yet.

According to the poll, 75 percent of baby boomers who are between the ages of 57 and 65 consider themselves to be middle-aged or younger.

While young adults say 60 is the beginning of old age, baby boomers are pushing that number back. The median age they cite is 70, but 25 percent of boomers say old age doesn't start until 80 candles are on the birthday cake.
