Middle age: 45-60. Wondering what’s 61+...



Backstory

I recently read that middle age is from 45-60. Anyone know what one is at 61? Or 88? Or 101?

Jane Fonda calls it the third act. I like that:)

I think I heard that somewhere...it's a good one. Thanks for the reminder.

I'd go with Jane (unless it's a war zone) then just cheer her on.

What???? Middle age lasts to 60????

This is the news if it is true. Yesterday I was 60 and one month old. Heck, I'm still a young'en!

I have this thing for the term baby boomer. Have always...well, hated it. When I turned 60, I told my daughter, "whew, at least I'm no longer a boomer."

Sorry, mom, she said. You always will be.... Sigh. But at least I'm still a middle- aged bb. !!

Dragonflower says,

Best news.

that is kind - considering middle age to be in the range of 45-60. helps me to pretend i am not stepping into the waters of old age when i turn 61 in august.... (luckily my wobbly arms might just act like water wings and keep me afloat.)
