Leben in den besten Jahren: So hat sich das Seniorendasein gewandelt

Jeder will alt werden, aber keiner will alt sein. Eindeutig ist der Begriff Senior nicht definiert. Ab wann zählen Senioren in Weiden und im Landkreis Neustadt zu dieser Altersgruppe? Ab der Rente? Oder vielleicht schon viel früher?

von Michaela Lowak

Viele Senioren gehören längst noch nicht zum alten Eisen. Sie kennen sich am Computer aus, nutzen Social Media und haben oft Zeit und genug Geld, um sich die schönen Dinge im Leben zu gönnen.
