The adage "Sixty is the New Thirty" encourages all individuals to embrace the new lifestyle concept of reinvention.

Remember when 40 was the new 30? Then there was 50 was the new 40, then the new 30? So I guess 20 would be the new 10? It seems as if modern day society is trying to tell us how we should look, feel, what we should wear, say... etc.
