"In 60s" and "over 60" are not the same thing. That's playing a little too fast and loose with the statistics for my taste.

Sorry for any confusion, I looked at the numbers both ways. As posted elsewhere:

There are 37.5 million folks in their 60s now.

There will be 40 million folks in their 60s in 2030.

There will be 39 million folks in their 60s in 2040.
