How old are you? - Page 3

Joss · 11-28-2007, 02:36 PM

I've found that viewing my progressive age is better in five-year clumps. I was "about 50" for five years, then "about 55" for another five. This worked pretty good and avoid a lot of math required to be more precise.

Now, I've turned 58 in October and I'm feeling that "about 60" will be additionally useful to avoid a hard landing on the real 6-0 in 2009. For some reason, 60 seems a little more daunting than the previous milestones.

49, not blond, thinner than I was a year ago, and spiritually wealthy (I do have a thin blond 17 yr old that the boys tend to hoover around when she isn't grounded for sneaking out to parties)

Hovering is one thing, but hoovering is something I wouldn't put up with...

OK - so I lied. 49 and counting but don't tell my kids friends - they think I'm cool and not as nearly as old as their parents who of course, don't understand them......

Amen. I might tell you in cat years but then cats have nine lives so it's irrelevant.

I'm not nearly as old as I want to be.

Learned about money from my parents, but I knew better at that time

Wisened up at 24, currently 26. My peers think I'm well into my 30's from the way my mind works now financially.
