" A grandfather today isn&amp;#039;t your father&amp;#039;s grandfather. He isn&amp;#039;t your grandfather, either. In fact, a grandfather today is healthier, wealthier and wiser than any grandfather ever before, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report called 65+ in the United States 2005.  In a nutshell, the report revealed that growing old in the U.S. doesn&amp;#039;t mean what it used to: As baby boomers begin to reach the 65-year threshold, aging only continues to redefine itself.  Disability In 1999, 19.7% of Americans 65 and older were disabled, down from 26.2% in 1982. Poverty In 2003, 10% of Americans 65 and older were in poverty, down from 35% in 1959. Education In 2003, 71.5% of Americans 65 and older held a high school diploma, up from 17% in 1950. Divorce In 2003, 7% of American males and 8.6% of women older than 65 were divorced, up from 1.6% of men and 1.5% of women in 1960. Data in the report also allowed researchers to make projections about the future. Of the 65 and older demographic, more than 25% will have an undergraduate degree, 28% will be non-white, and they will represent one-fifth of the U.S. population (72 million people)\u2014all by 2030. To learn how to really throw the census into a tailspin, watch for PM&amp;#039;s guide to living forever in the May issue. \u2014Adam Raymond "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
