5 great things about getting older

[Eggs]

....these;

1) Blessed with grandkids. No better company than your nearest and dearest.

2) Retired, not having to work, not having the pressures of work.

3) As many holidays as you want, whenever you want.

4) Not in the least bit bothered that Dolly Parton is next to Creedence Clearwater Revival on your playlist.

5) What’s a mortgage?

I can imagine this is a good part about being old. But the ages of 40 up to whatever the retirement age is can koff as far as I’m concerned

I’m quite negative about the whole thing. I turned 40 recently and haven’t come to terms with it yet. I feel like a young man in an old mans body.

An old man at 40 ?

You wish you’d started saving sooner for your retirement

The downsides to being middle aged is that you realise the older generation are racist AF and the younger woke generation are annoying little twerps and you're left wondering which one you fit in to better.

You try to convince your family that the young lady who gives you a massage ( with a happy ending) is a friend you meet for a chat,and you convince yourself they believe you...or so a friend tells me.

At work you can say to the younger one's " There you go mate you do that, you need the experience and it's a tick in the box for you"

When your mercenary kids start paying you more attention in the hope that you will leave them the house.
