Grumble grumble about SW age categories

This is probably just silly vanity but I resent that SW has me in the "61-69" age category. I am not yet 65, which is the traditional age of retirement and being officially a "senior citizen" around here. I feel like there is a big different between me, practically still in my 50s, and someone aged 69 who is almost seventy!

Anyone else perturbed by being lumped together with "much" older (or younger) people here? :)

The AARP starts bombarding you with membership crap when you turn 50. Evidently they think you are a senior citizen at that ripe old age. Relax, enjoy it. The alternative to getting older is an even worse option.

@bowman81 That is a good reminder!
But in fact I don't mind being the age I am and I won't mind it when I turn 70 either. I am more concerned about other people's assumptions, I think.

@bowman81 When our son was five years old, he got some kind of flyer from AARP. When we explained what the organization was, he wondered if it meant he didn't have to get a job and could retire immediately😆
