The number of older Americans living alone is on the rise. Nearly 16 million people aged 65 and older in the US lived solo in 2022, three times as many who lived alone in that age group in the 1960s. And as Baby Boomers age, that number is expected to grow even more, raising big questions about the country’s future.

    If you’re in your 50s you’re Gen X, not Baby Boomer. Millennials are 30s and early 40s now.

      The youngest boomers are 59. But the whole concept of generation labeling is arbitrary and stupid.
