The beginning, but really it's the 60s for that.

Old is 70+
50s is the new 45. Still working, still active.
60s is the new 50s. Most still work, active, travel, some may retire, but later and later. Large friend groups, help with grandkids.
70s is still vibrant, however more health issues largely relating to mobility- however those are dealt with by knee and hip replacement. But still going strong.
80s is elderly, but many are still active. Those that aren't do tend to need help.
90s- elderly. Need help but if they made it this long, they may make it to 100 or more. Lots of that going on.

In your 40s, 50s will be old. When your in your 50s, 60s will be old. When you are in your 60s, 70s will be old. When you are in your 70s, 80s will be old. Etc., etc.

No, most people are able to assess things objectively. 65 is well established as elderly, which puts "old" at 50. Maybe 55 if you want to push it. That's basically when businesses no longer want to hire you because you're skills are out of date, your mind is slow, and your health is quickly fading.

Old is always 10 years older than you are.

In your 40s, 50s will be old. When your in your 50s, 60s will be old. When you are in your 60s, 70s will be old. When you are in your 70s, 80s will be old. Etc., etc.

Your 40s are the old age of your youth.
Your 50s are the youth of your old age.

People in their 60s are elderly. It's defined by age, not condition.

Their minds slow down substantially by 60, and can't learn anything new by around 65.

Thank God we keep most them in Congress where they can't get into trouble.

Ha! Also presidents.

When your title has more typos than words, you are elderly.

Good point!

If that's the experience of your family members, you must have weak genes.

Mostly coworkers. And public figures.

That's just how GenZ communicates. They don't have emojis for those words, so they can't spell them.
