As of 2010 there are nearly 8 MILLION folks who are over the age of 85. The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in 2011 we had nearly 18 MILLION people over the age of 75.

Wanna REALLY go the distance? According to good ole' Wiko; in the US we've got nearly 100,000 centenarians - that's people who are age 100 - Wow!

The average 65-year-old man and woman (In 2012) can expect to live to be 81 and 85, respectively. As a matter of fact over 30% of women who are 65 years old in 2012, will probably live to age 90!

Those of us who are getting up there appreciate those who have already made it more and more. As First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt said: "Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, beautiful old people are works of art."
