With the oldest baby boomers turning 65 this year, the challenges and joys of aging have taken center stage.

We explore the keys (both mental and physical) to healthy aging; smart ways to save and insure for future healthcare costs; and how a deficit-plagued nation will care for its elders. There are upbeat stories here—including pithy thoughts on turning 65 and a report on spry centenarians. But there’s also a dose of reality and loads of practical advice.
