But it need not be! 'The best is yet to come...'

I fell in love all over again aged 62, widowed, redundant, struggling to earn a living. Life does NOT stop at 50 or at any other age.

I suggest you start telling everyone you're forty ten, if nothing else it will make you giggle

Oh yes, I'm an antique teenager too

The strange thing about heading for the big 50 is that it's only about a month or so before you're very suddenly heading for the big 60. I mean, surely ten years can't possibly have gone by THAT fast...???

Have a read of 'Warning' by Jenny Joseph (change the gender if necessary!)

I used to have this pinned up in my office until I left the place. Cheers me up every time I read it.

Great poem, but the way the NHS police is watching us, when I'm old , there'll be no drinking brandy or eating butter allowed! As for growing fat.... :rotfl::rotfl:

Well, I have my kids wondering, I have just brought loads of new jeans, cargo trousers,T shirts & other tops, new trainers, in short, a new wardrobe.

I catch them looking & scratching their heads, what fun!!.
I am now at the age where i can be a pain to my kids & not the other way around.

So, you're 50...there are no 'benefits' as 50 is not old anymore: you've got 20 years before state pension age

National Express coaches used to have a 50+ card but there has been a bit of inflation and now it it 60+.

You could try “over 50s experts” Staysure, or Saga,

By the time the original poster gets there it will be 70+
