Not only are the current over-55s much better off than their predecessors even only a few years ago, but the future over-55s will be even more financially secure and more significant in terms of their spending power.
predecessors在这里指什么，only a few years ago又如何理解？

先辈
原文全文好像都没有说是 ‘退休者’ retirees, 只是说 ‘55岁以上的人士’。
至于 predecessors 是指现在55岁以上的人的 ‘先辈’，他们只是在好几年前 a few years ago 已经达到 55岁以上了。
一般 predecessor 在公司或团体职位上是 ‘前任’ 同事、职员，这里仅指年龄更长的人士。 所以建议用先辈。
供參考。
