Not too long ago a study revealed that most people define old age as 68. What a difference a few years make. This week a new study found that old age really doesn't begin until 80.
The study, commissioned by comparison website PayingTooMuch.com, asked 2,000 Britons over 40 what they considered old. The average answer -- 80 -- was nearly 20 years later than what previous generations might have responded. Those behind the study say the change in attitude is due in large part to delayed retirement, more active lifestyles, and a familiarity with octogenarians still successfully working.This is a big deal with the Boomers set to retire. They have affected the entire country at every stage of life passage, and this probably is not going to change in retirement.
