What do you think is the best age to call someone a "Senior Citizen"?
This is not what the legal age is, but when you feel someone is truly a senior citizen. I feel senior means 65 and older. What do you think?

60 sounds about right to me, but I'm sure it varies per person.

65.
Holy ****. If a senior citizen means 55, then Vicki is a senior citizen now because she just turned 55 last month! I can't bear to think about that...No. So I will not consider her a senior citizen. Carol Burnett definitely is- she turns 71 on Monday.

I changed my mind to 65. I was just thinking, if senior is 55, Sally Field, Jerry Mathers, Tony Dow, Stephen Talbot, Rusty Stevens, and the other kids from Leave it to Beaver are seniors. Just the thought of Jerry Mathers as a senior made me change my mind.

Yep...I used to think the same when I was a little girl, too...but now I realize 55 is really not that old. A lot of people become grandparents by that age (or even earlier), but no...I don't think so. Most people don't retire until they're in their 60's. |

What is considered Middle Age these Days? 30? To me 65 or older is Senior because most people are retired and collecting Social Security by then. 55? NO WAY! I will be 54 next month and I am definitely not a Senior! |

55 is definitely not senior. Young is up until 50, 50-65 is middle age, and 65+ is senior.

A girl in my class at school has a grandmother who is 47, and she is 10, so that meant she became a grandmother at age 37! That's really young. The youngest possible to become a grandmother is 24, because people can reproduce at age 12, but it is not a good thing to do.

I'd say 65 but it really depends on the person. There are a lot of people nowdays who feel and look much younger than they are and are offended at being called a senior citizen.

I've always thought of 65 as a senior citizen, and age 75 as elderly.
I also think that somewhere in your 40s is considered middle age. |

I say 70 because of the increasing life expectancy. I heard in the International Business Forum that I went to at my college that a child under 10 today COULD live to be 120.

The average life expectancy is actually late 80s, early 90s, but 100 is very likely. But I know some people who I would hate to see live to 100.
