As I approach age 65, I have made a decision, nay a declaration. From this day forward, the term senior citizen is forbidden.
Henceforth, the correct term is Seasoned Citizen. Rise up those of you who have had the pleasure of spending six or more decades on this planet, you are not elderly, you are not old, you are experienced and seasoned.
The world needs us and even though we may delight in “senior discounts at the movies, on public transportation, at National Parks and even in restaurants, we still have all the money- - - - even if we eat dinner at 5:00 PM to savor the early bird special.

At age 74 I would have to say that I am certainly seasoned. I have to be very careful not to spoil however.:wah:

I like being a senior or seasoned citizen. I'm beat up and stove in enough that people open doors for me and young gals are extra nice to me. I even get away with patting them on the rump on occasion.

A very relevant term, I used to think a person 85 was really old, but now at 65, I see them as middle aged.

I totally understand. At 44 I find myself saying "that kid" a lot more than "old people".

That's what I've alway said: "Older" is always "20" years older then what you are! :wah:
