Maybe they really did hope they'd die before they got old

A very Cliffs Notes-y look at senior, Boomer, X and Y demos. Most unintentionally damning note: "Baby Boomers are the country's biggest spenders and look for quality products that help define the generation's focus on itself." This reminded me of a recent article about Marianne Faithful. Mick Jagger's most infamous former flame has "turned to therapy to help to her cope with growing old....'It's very hard having been so beautiful when young,' she said." Is that what they mean by being focused on yourself?
