To the younger set: honestly, who here is looking forward to growing old?

Question

When I say old, I mean over 45.

What are you looking forward to?

Answer 1

I am looking forward to wearing comfortable shoes for once and big, flowered, purple dresses like all those old ladies wear. I am looking forward to walking down the street and not getting whistled at or stared at while I'm driving or getting honked at by truckers. I look forward to buying a brand new car and not worrying about how much I'll have to pay for my car insurance!! I'm looking forward to having people give up their seats for me, carry my groceries to the car, getting a senior citizen discount, and wearing whatever I want because I know no one will care. I can't wait until I get to the age where I can say whatever I want or forget people's names or burp really loudly in public and get away with it because I'm old. Oh, and I'm also looking forward to telling my grandkids what VCR's and cassettes are and wowing them with my stories about my childhood WITHOUT a cell phone. I'm gonna be the coolest old lady!

Answer 2

Dying, I want to see what everyone is scared of. People shouldn't live past the point where everything is failing. Seems kinda sad, that people do everything they can to deny getting old because that means you're on the way out. But, there is no reason to be sad about being on the way out, what's so great about living forever if you lose your body and your mind. At least if you die before you become a burden, people don't have mixed feelings about you dying.

Answer 3

I look forward being more established financially and being more mature intellectually, having weathered the hardships of life and having learned its lessons.

I don't in any way envy the old, though... you could say that the benefits of youth are shallow and fleeting, but the option of being able to experience life to its fullest in terms of excitement and vitality is really something quite valuable. And while being mentally old has its benefits, there are also benefits to being open-minded and even idealistic.

Answer 4

No one looks forward to growing old--it's just better than the alternative.
