I'll be 75 in a few weeks, but that doesn't describe how I feel. 75 sounds old, but I don't feel old.
As for all the money old people contribute to the economy, I bet a large portion is for medication, doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes - unfortunately.
not so sure... i personally have not spent over $100 a year on meds, drs. etc., since i have retired.... with medicare, aarp, etc. it takes care of it all so far. i spend mostly on things i couldn't comfortably think about buying while i was younger... now if i really want it, i buy it... that said, i hope and pray it will stay that way.
