When Boomers Become Seniors
We know them collectively as baby boomers: the 76 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964.

This week at Forbes.com, we track how the group that has left its mark on every decade since the close of World War II will change senior citizenship. Billions of dollars hang in the balance; bookmark this page to read all our stories.
