Is 60 “elderly”? No way! How about “late middle aged”?
Over the weekend, I heard someone refer to people who are 60 as “elderly.” I was extremely offended. After all, “60 is the new 40.” So how can 60 be elderly?!
Certainly Baby Boomers in their late 40s, early 50s can be considered “middle aged.” But what about those of us who are nearing/over 60? How about “late middle aged”?
Look at these two photos, both of which were labeled as “elderly” by picapp. Is this woman “elderly”?
