“It’s not your business,” Susan Sarandon, 76, blasted for wearing daring clothes
Uniquely Understanding Boomers and Gen X
“The answer to old age is to keep one’s mind busy and to go on with one’s life as if it were interminable. I always admired Chekhov for building a new house when he was dying of tuberculosis.”

“It’s not your business,” Susan Sarandon, 76, blasted for wearing daring clothes
People of Hollywood have always been scared of getting old. They feel the pressure to look young forever. But Susan Sarandon is different. Being a fierce liberal activist, she proudly declared when she was 72 that she has never felt more comfortable in her own skin. “When your sense of time has an ending and isn’t finite, like how it feels when you’re young—when you have an understanding that time is precious—you have a tendency not to waste energy on the small stuff and only to surround yourself with people who are vital, curious, brave and adventurous,” she declared.
These couples survived a lot. Then came retirement.
For many relationships, life after work brings an unexpected set of challenges. This spring, Barbara and Joe, a retired couple in their 60s, sat down at a bistro in suburban Connecticut to talk about their relationship. That they were sitting there together at all was something of a triumph. In the past few days, they had hurled at each other the kinds of accusations that couples make when they are on the brink of mutual destruction. They were bruised from the words that had been exchanged, and although they sat close to each other, their energy was quiet and heavy.
‘Oh please, get a job’: Joy Behar slams young Americans for feeling left behind
It’s no secret that young Americans feel like they're being left behind by the economy and can’t fathom ever being able to buy a home. But they shouldn’t look to Joy Behar for sympathy. “Boohoo,” Behar said derisively in response to The View co-host Sunny Hostin’s discussion of her Gen Z kids, who Hostin says have lived through the COVID-19 pandemic and “the worst of times” and feel uncertain about the future. “Oh please, get a job,” Behar, an 81-year-old actress and comedian interjected on the daytime talk show. "There’s a million job openings in this country.” She’s not the only baby boomer who’s famously criticized younger Americans for being unable to move out of their parents’ basements (read: Dave Ramsey) and climb the property ladder.

Spotlight on solo agers for Older Americans Month
When Older Americans Month (May) was established in 1963, only 17 million Americans had celebrated their 65th birthday. Today over 60 million of us can claim the distinction of being 65 or better. However, over 22 million older adults live alone and close to 30% of them have no children or other family support as they age. This is a category best known as “Solo Agers.” Starting this year (2024), on May 15, Solo Agers will have their very own day, right in the middle of Older American’s month. SAVvy Day (Solo Agers Visibility Day) will acknowledge their status, raise awareness about their numbers, and educate others in the ways they can support the Solo Agers among their family members and friends.
