At what age did you feel 'old'?

I felt old at 40. My body seemed to agree with me. Now 49 i have more aches and pains than ever. I have had manual jobs all my life so maybe an easier job you would feel different.
Wouldn't a manual job keep you fitter? I work in an office and some people there are incredibly lazy and will drive their car round the corner to buy a sandwich at lunchtime rather than do a 5 minute walk each way - they are not doing themselves any favours from a health point of view.0 -
Not yet (57), go back to teenager when bike comes back out every spring.0

Physically when my periods stopped and blood tests confirmed i was post menopausal.
I'm with Judi on this one. The menopause, even though it has its bonuses, but that's when I felt I started to look my age.Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)
December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.100 -
In about ten years time.
I shall be 86 next week and have much the thoughts and fancy the same things as I did many years ago.
(From the neck up I am a teenager. From the neck down a little older)
:j:j:j:j:j:j My sentiments exactly! I'm only 73, but my beliefs are the same as yours!0 -
Earlier this year when it was approaching my daughter's 13th birthday. This lead to me thinking about when I became a teenager myself and the realisation that when that happened it was still the 1970s. :eek:0

I feel old today for the first time, I'm 49, and I've hurt my knee (just by walking from the sink to the cabinet in the kitchen). I don't feel old at work as I'm still one of the "young" ones in my office

I must be old ! Tonight is New Year's Eve and I shall be spending it tucked up comfortably in bed rather than out partying !! And that is by choice rather than lack of any other available options. :rotfl:0
