Excluding the obvious age difference, the average 25 year old is significantly different than the average 65 year old both today and 40 years ago when that 65 year old was 25. Today's 25 year old is much less likely to be white, is much more likely to have a college degree and is a lot less religious. Some may not like it but we cannot turn back the hands of time.
