I detest the word senior and elder doesn’t strike me as being any better. In my mind, I will always be 37….

That’s right Meg! What do you suggest?

Elder has a nice ‘ring’ to it … kind of implies wisdom.

But I don’t like being called either. I don’t feel like I am in my 50′s (except after I work a 12 hour day!), and certainly don’t feel like a senior or an elder. I still get looked at weird when I say ‘yes mam’ to someone obviously younger than me – just the way I was brought up! LOL.

We need to come up with a different word to call ourselves… one that recognizes our value and worth and empowers us to achieve great things!

I am a junior senior.
Finally they are starting to realize that marketing to our age group makes sense.
We are the group with higher disposable income rather than the 18-35 year old group.
It’s about time!
