Well I have meet 20 year olds that behave and think like they were in their 50s; And I have met 60 year olds that behave and appear to think like they were in their 20s.

Age seems to be relative. Don't take it too seriously!

I have no blood relatives over 70 so aging relatively is not comforting but cheers, peter .

Obviously we all get one year less to live for every year that passes. I am just saying that turning 50 is no excuse to become a grumpy old man/woman that just sits next to edge of the grave waiting for the inevitable to happen.

You still have a choice on how you want to spend whatever time there is left and then I prefer to spend it with the mindset of a younger person that still is enjoying life... Rather be a bit too childish than a bit too grumpy!!

Don't want to become old

I think it's all relative, people that love their life want to live til 90+, those that hate their life wish to be killed while they're young

Definitely. I must admit my 20’s were enormous fun & splendidly irresponsible, but between 30 & 50 the enjoyment of building a family, home, career, was probably more memorable. Since then life with hobbies, that I’ve enjoyed all my life, keep me amused & I’m not missing the hurly burly of “making a living” one bit. Taking care of health, with a reasonable lifestyle, has made the arrival of the 60’s not too painful (yet) & using my parents as an example of what might be to come they definitely enjoyed it right up to 90. After that it looked like less fun, but by them who cares? You can afford to laugh at the world at that point...

Signs you know you're old:

Hollywood are remaking one of your favourite films that you're sure only came out a few years ago.

That shifty looking youth who looks like he's stolen a policeman's helmet on second glance turns out to be a policeman.

The woman half your age is old enough to be your wife.

You have no idea what songs are in the top ten, and you're proud of the fact.

lucky aging dosnt affect my spelling but my typing is very sus..

NO no snhiny head just a thinning of the Forrest and a sat pepper greying.

a bit of frier tuck happening but only on security cameras ..must be the lends they use.

Is starting to go grey at 30 young? My first grey hairs came in my late 20s, but the change has been slow and it looks like I'll be peppered for some time.

Are you becoming a chrome dome too? If not, I wouldn't worry. A little bit of grey makes us looks wise. Whether we are wise is of course a different question...

My grandfather's 12 (or 11, I don't know if he's included) brothers died of cancer, and now he's cancer too. I can see my end
The generation between us (my father, 3 uncles and 5 aunts (already half of the world population :D)) didn't have cancer. Maybe we finally escaped from the curse though.

Both my grandmothers died at 90 and my mother's oldest sister is now 93 and just fine. I hope I have inherited something of their good fortune!
As for the greys, I started at 30 and now my hair is almost white, we have this too in the family, going grey young.

I hope Age isnt relatiuve all my older relatives are mostly dead.

when I was 12 I used to think 21yr olds were mega elderly, as I grew up, I became more 'tolerant' and understanding of how age works

When I started to school, 3rd classes were bullying us and I was thinking " Oh 3rd class is super old you can do whatever you want" probably because I remember I was jealous of them. Ps. They were 10 years old. :/

Emigrate

Ah Smokey... 50 is life's prime. Other than the physical effects of age, the emotional effects of age, and the spiritual effects of age.
BUT these days, you're probably just at the half-way point! Unless you eat the wrong foods, drink anything but water, sit in a desk for more than twenty minutes each day, watch tv, vote in elections, spend time with people, or live in any part of the world that is above the surface of the earth, where meteors might crash into you. Other than THOSE things, you can expect 50 more years.

But seriously, congratulations... I remember 50. The good ole days.


WOW such underwhelming things to look forward too..


I still think "Old enough to know better but young enough not to give a fug".

when they put the camera up they will see beer and chips heading their way.

I sit at the computer more than 20 minutes a day playing dip.
I have no living blood relative over the age of 68.
I watch TV Got mainly.
Not only do I live in a meteor zone but Skylab fell not far from here.
We have a federal election this weekend and voting is compulsory.
I am looking forward to verbally abusing younger folk and not caring because I forgot what I said..
Now excise me I got to take a poo sample and send it off for bowel cancer screening..a free service in the lovely land of Aus. ( no shit ) pun intended.

The Swedish side of the family was very proud of their longevity. Telling stories about my great grandfather who fell out of a hayloft at 92.

oh and..


Get a colonoscopy (and skin cancer check). I had stage zero cancer last year and had to have surgery to clear it up. The colonoscopy very likely saved my life.

I dunno, my brother ran his first triathlon when he was 53. He was one of only two people to finish after me, but finish we did (I was 45 at the time). I am certainly not above fair to average health, but 50 is certainly not the end. My grandmother had 51 years left when she hit 50 and my grandfather still had 38 years ahead of him. He slipped on ice while out for a walk and hit his head,so I am not sure how much longer he would have lasted. He'd go swimming with us at the lake well into his seventies.

Nah, 50 is old whatever way you look at it. Not "very" old, I grant you, but old nonetheless. The sort of age where if you died of a heart attack or some such illness people would be surprised, but not necessarily shocked.

Congratulations :)

I think the appropriate response to this is "Nice speech, kid. NOW GET OFF MY LAWN!"
