So, are there any benefits to look forward to when I turn 50?

Wow being 50+ cant all be doom and gloom. Does anybody enjoy being 50+ ??? Surely for the most part it what counts in the mind...

I love being 50+ [in fact 60+], not having to go to work, do what I like when I like :beer:, + free bus travel, kids have left home but can visit grand children if I feel like it, and leave them for the parents if they start playing up

I am only 35 inside, but my left knee may be a bit older as it creaks sometimes:D

I think I am about 28!



Glad that somebody else is an half full glass person!

There is no turning the clock back so we may as well make the most of what we have left.

I am going to be 50 in March and cannot believe the years have gone by so quickly. Luckily I don't have to work so intend of just spending more time on me rather than the family for a change
I have a 5 day trip to New York booked for my actual birthday for myself and my daughter so will shop until I drop and eat lots
Apparently 50 is the new 30 so we will be fine

Lol I really don't feel that 50 is old at all? I'm 24 myself. The people I know who are around 50 are just as active and interesting as people younger, as long as you look after yourself and keep the grey matter stimulated then 50 is just a "experienced young person" in my opinion.
