If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you are designated as a “baby boomer.” Your age right now is between 56 and 74. As you pass age 65, what are you becoming? What should we call you?
There are a variety of names you can choose from. These include Senior Citizen, Older Citizen, Older Adult, Old Person, Old-Aged, Oldy, Oldster, Old Fogey, Elderly Person, Elder, Hippie Generation, and Golden Ager. Many people I know are offended by and do not identify with these names.
The term retiree could in theory work. However, it implies that you are not working full time and it says nothing about your age.
So here is a name I like as an alternative: Bloomer. It is reminiscent of Baby Boomer, so it hints at your age. Bloomer says that you are flourishing, which you can certainly do in your older years. After all, you may have fertile ground (money, skills, experience, networks) to sprout. You can make it happen.
What are your plans to flourish in your older years?
