The definition of 'senior' is changing. If you're over 50, you could be in for some deals

You don’t need to be 65 to get a senior’s discount anymore. In fact, a lot of deals are available once you are in your 50s. As the Deal Diva tells us, if you plan ahead, you could be saving cash every time you shop, travel or go to the bank.

JLo and Ben, Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt and George Clooney. They are probably not the people you imagine when you think of a seniors discount. But depending on where they shop, they might get one.

These days, different retailers are classifying seniors as 50, 55, 62 or 65-plus. So before you go to shop, check to see if you can save a little cash.
