Please tick the relevant box...
18-24
25-34
35-44
45-54
55-65
65+
You know you're getting older when... as you finish your investment fund questionnaire and you are asked to place yourself in an age bracket, you are surprised to see that there are more brackets younger than yours than older.
PS Cold mornings and chilly nights. No rain, though. The leaves are starting to turn and autumn is closer than we suspect.

I find myself describing a person as 'elderly' and realising, with a shock, that other people are describing me in that way!!!!

I find it insulting that there are no nuances beyond 65. Are we just fish set in aspic after we retire? No difference, then, between a newly demobbed 65-year-old and a very relaxed and stately 85-year-old? The person who wrote the questionnaire much be in the 18-24 age bracket.

You know when you are getting older when you come to one of those scroll-down things with a list of birth years and you nod-off asleep before you get back to yours.

My son came home from school and told me that his teacher was old like I am. That was okay until I met her and she looked seriously old :(

I've always hated those stupid boxes, I generally try to avoid questionnaires at all costs! (eons ago I used to hate to be pigeonholed as an under 30- now of course I hate being 60 or older.
I'm sure my "maturity" is important, but they never explain WHY on any form. -
