So got my first SS payment this month, so I'm now and old fart.
I did wait until I maxed out, hoping I would stay young as long as possible.
Feels old to be old.

I came to that realization the other day too.
I was reading and noticed the words were blurring. I thought my contacts were dirty so I went and cleaned them. Still blurry.
Then I noticed the farther away I held my book, the clearer the words got.
So I made an eye doctor appointment. I need reading glasses.
My wife thinks it's hilarious. But she's only 4 years younger than me so she'll be there soon. Happens to all of us I guess.

Getting old is not for the meek or faint of heart.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

I started calling myself an old man after I turned 25. That's when all my prior youthful stunts starting causing knee pain and back pain.

Turned 73 last year and started a little side business. Keeping active and engaged is important. I see people who do nearly nothing and they go downhill fast.

my friends waited until they were 70 and croaked at 71, I threw in the towel at 55 and still getting SS at 77
It’s just a number. The important thing is your heart, mind and soul. I am almost 67 but enjoy the same things as when I was a young lad.

At your age you are not close to being an old F--- I am an old F--- and feel like one too! Enjoy that check.
A shooting buddy and I went to The Big City (around these parts, that's known as Abilene) and went to eat at Golden Corral. His treat. When we went to the register, he told the girl "Two Seniors". I started to rebut, but then I came to the cold realization he was correct. Was a bit of a jolt!

Rights, and Privileges, are not synonymous. We have the Right to Bear Arms. As soon as the Government mandates firearm registration, and permiting, then that Right becomes a Privilege, and may be taken away at our Master's discretion.
I get told to act my age, but I don't know how.
I ain't never been this old before!

You come into the world bald & toothless, and the damning thing is you mostly go out the same way!
I felt old when I got dentures.

Just wait until the reenactors show up, and you go over and ask what they are doing and they tell you they are reenacting your very own unit's battles in Vietnam. So you introduce yourself, and a young squirt tells me , "you are a part of history." I had to walk off on that one....me, a part of history...hum, well I guess that we are all a part of history one way or the other, because yesterday is always history, today.
But it never strikes you, as a Vietnam Vet, the same soldier that got spit on coming home and in airports, that anyone would study your battles and actually celebrate the battles, by reenacting those battles, near 60 years later. That revelation caused a rainbow spectrum of feelings, experienced, all at one time, one was of being very old.
