The majority of people under the age of 80 don't feel old until they lose their independence and their health, according to a survey of high wealth investors by UBS Wealth Management Americas.
Only 47 percent of those between the ages of 70 and 79 felt they were old, compared to 77 percent of those over age 80.
UBS asked survey respondents which life events make a person old. Seventy-one percent said they would be old when they can no longer live in their own homes; 67 percent when they can no longer drive; 45 percent when they start forgetting things and 37 percent when they have a serious health issue or diagnosis.
