In your opinion, what age would a person have to be to be considered a senior citizen?

I googled it and the answers from the internet are vague, and make reference to being elderly, and/or retired, and/or living on a pension. As you may know, that leaves a big span for eligibility.

I recently attended a senior citizen luncheon and I forgot whether they said you had to be 50 or 55. I met the criteria for that, although my friends thought it was funny and it was kind of funny, because I looked like I could have been a granddaughter, since the majority there were in their late 70’s and 80’s.

What do you think?
