Then again, middle-aged folks believe sexagenarians aren’t over the hill, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center. And people aged 65 or older—already technically old, according to those whippersnappers—push the beginning of “old” all the way to 74. And why not? The same survey also revealed that 60 percent of the 65-plus crowd feel younger than their age, while only 3 percent feel older. So we guess age really is but a number.
