I do wish I could tell you my age but it's impossible. It keeps changing all the time
The actress Bette Davis famously said “Getting old is not for sissies.”
While I am not yet a senior citizen, I am beginning to understand what she meant.
Those creaks I hear when I wake up in the morning are not coming from the bed frame. WebMD is fast becoming my most frequently visited internet site. Discussions with friends center less on the new hot cars and more on the new hot pain reliever.
But there are upsides to becoming, well, more experienced. I have noticed that youngsters tend to give me respect that I don’t deserve just because I’ve been around for a while. My appearance, once referred to as “haggard,” is now described as “distinguished.”
Another advantage of getting older is economic. For many, middle age represents the peak of prosperity. Earnings typically peak between 45 and 55, and portfolios built over time are often peaking in value at this point in our life cycles.

Oh man, I'm in trouble.
