In the US, us “over 50″ folks spend $2.3 trillion and 
we controls 50% of all discretionary income.

In 2011:

Those of us over age 50 will respresent 25% of the population.
In that same year it is estimated that the US population will be
12.5% Non-Hispanic Black and
14.8% Hispanic origin

Marketing Implications:

If you’re starting a business, you should consider products and services that appeal to the over 50 population.
And if you’re already in business, we’re still a worthwhile target market.
