Americans Today Are Rethinking the Notion of What it Means to Be "Old" and 65 is Out

Increased longevity and life expectancy are changing Americans’ perception of what it means to be “old,” causing many to reevaluate their retirement plans. A new study, commissioned by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., gauged the perspectives of four different generations: the Silent Generation (born between 1924 and 1944), Boomers (born between 1945 and 1964), Generation X (born between 1965 and 1976) and Generation Y (born after 1976). The study uncovered a diversity of thoughts, dreams and goals surrounding how many of us have and will approach life’s third act, including interesting findings on how Americans are shifting their perspectives on what it means to be “old.”
