You know when you're getting old because:
You don't like to do fun things anymore;
You've become a pain in the @rse;
You think that you know it all;
You think that life sucks and you've got a bum deal;
You are so fixated with just one or two things in life that you miss the bigger picture;
You stop being open to new ideas;
You think that everyone else is having more (sex, fun, money, chocolate cake...whathaveyou)
You don't jump in the sea at every opportunity that presents itself;
You are old when you refuse to see the other persons point of view;
You are old when you stop experimenting with life;
You give up on adventure;
You no longer take risks;
You care more about other peoples view of you than about your own experiences;
You will not tolerate someone else's viewpoint as being just that;
You think that you have the only answer (to life, religion, music etc)
You're having a 'good-time' at the expense of someone else;
You want to be someone elses master - or someone elses slave;
You take everything personally.
When you can highlight more than two of those, you're getting old. More than three and you're right there. Old. OLD.
As you can see, some people are old before they are 20 - old and immature!
Me, I'm not going to be old. Not ever. I was just born a lot earlier than some people, and always will be. "Older than I once was, but younger than I'll be" as S&G once sang.....
Remember, their is a massive difference between OLD & WISE. To be wise you must have had some time (say - more than 20 years) on this planet and still be able to tick NONE of the things listed above.

THAT'S the moment where you go holy crap, I'm frikkin' old...

You never get old. Old's what older people are. Kids are what younger people are. You're always just right - even when you start running out of older people.

The critical sign for having reached old age is when you tuck your vest into your underpants. No turning back after that.
