At what age is considered "elderly"??

According to US Census Bureau, "Older" is 55+.
"Elderly" is 65+.

Thank you for that Joan! I feel much better now.

Moosmom, tell your friend that 60 is a good thing because it means that retirement is just around the corner.

In Nevada, you get "Senior Citizen" status at 55, and all the discounts! My dad is 56 or 57 and is still working...doesn't mean he won't take advantage of lower prices

My grandmother is almost 80 and dispite having major health problems she is still very active. She told me once that just because you get old doesn't mean you have to act like it. ;-)
