Are you “middle aged”?

Do you feel “middle aged”?

A new survey asked 2,000 people at what age they thought was “middle aged” and the average age was 47.

What are the “warning” signs?

  • You notice a lot of your co-workers are young enough to be your kids
  • You have a harder time tolerating other people’s nonsense
  • You notice wrinkles and grey hairs but not just on your face and head
  • You thought you’d never need glasses, but now you do
  • You realize you’re older than most of the actors and musicians you like
  • Going on a cruise suddenly sounds like a lot of fun
  • You really enjoy spending money on home-improvement projects
  • You’ve accepted the fact that you’ll never fit into your old clothes again (NEVER!)
  • You suddenly love going to stores like Home Depot and Lowes
  • You’re more passionate about politics than ever before

Here are some more…you can’t tolerate new music,  you couldn’t possibly handle a mid-week hangover,  you’re hoping to get household items for Christmas and you try to be “cool” in front of your kids’ friends.
