Introduction
Growing Numbers of Elderly. Old age in America, as elsewhere, is inevitable unless you die young. There is no middle ground. The elderly have only their longevity in common, otherwise they come from every background and all walks of life. While the golden years for many people are not so golden, many other Americans take advantage of the retirement planning opportunities a free society offers, as well as extensive privileges extended to the aged. With careful and sensible planning, retirement in America can open a door to some of the best things American life has to offer.
