I sincerely do not know, based on my thinking, as I just turned 63 and my mind is more like 45 at best on a great day, Love my Mick Jagger and Rod Stewaet, as he was nice enough to come up to Alaska and Give a Concert that NONE of US from this age group could sit during the entire time. Where is that energey coming from. Too bad we lost many Great Musiciams. Notice also today, they are now using some of "Our" 'music in Commercials? Tells me alot of these not too Hip at the time songs :)

As far as I'm concerned, there's no such age as "too old". My great uncle lived to 95 and rode his ranch horses up until he passed on. The rest of my family is the same way. My pop will be 79 in a couple of months. When he was 75 he and I did a MAJOR roofing job on the house. I seriously doubt anyone would accuse him of being too old. :)

Too old means that if I continue to do something with my being, I recognize, at this point, that it will deplete my being or cause me more pain than I want much faster than I have a passion for choice to do so, hence, I or someone makes the passionate choice to decide that I not continue to do that which will eventually undo me at the rate that I or they are uncomfortable with. Therefore I am considered "too old".

you can start collecting SS benefits at the age of 59 & 1/2 but the retirement age keeps rising to 65 to 70.
By the time I get there, dont know if I'll be able to count that high!

Too old for what? I think senior citizens can and should do anything they feel like doing. They've earned it!

Age is only a state of mind. I'm a teen locked inside a 60 year old body. Now where did I put that coffee cup?

Just look at our Congresspersons and Senators, CEO's, General's etc etc etc...you will see MANY over the age of 70 and notables in their 80's....So what is too old?..and for what?...I frankly don't think there is such a thing! :-)

vague question, have no idea what you are looking for. I am 66, going strong. My dad is 85, going strong, dates up a storm. My Aunt is 97, full capacities except vision is failing. Personally, I am not sure I am going to die...I'll let you know tomorrow.
