Because the real stuff is underneath. (It wasn't what you thought, was it?)

Well it is just a saying. I would say life actually begins forty days after conception.
At the ripe old age of fifty, however, even though the milage is high, the kids have hopefully left the home, you've paid off the mortgage and so now you have a lot more disposable income and dont have to worry about finding a partner or starting a new brat-pack.
Its just like being young again without the financial worries but with the benifit of experience and hindsight.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the saying is "life begins at Forty", so if you've got to fifty before everything started falling, spreading and wearing out, be grateful for small mercies, you lucky person!

God speaks of growing old and what is to be expected when we do become old.
Ecclesiastes 12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
The keepers of the house is your nerves that start to become shakey with age. Stong men bowing, is the hunching of the back from osteoperosis, and arthritis. The grinders ceasing because they are few, is when we loose our teeth from age. And the windows becoming darkened is our eye sight going bad, and for some total blindness. It's all prophesized in the bible.

Good question! Probably because we are at least half-way through our earthly life. However, by the time we reach 50 (and I have) we are the more wiser. We have learned from our many mistakes and those of others and can promise ourselves that the remaining years will be free of those errors (as much as we can control them) and enjoy a more relaxed and useful life.

Its a lie. It doesn't begin till Sixty. I should know.
You've no idea how much fun it is to be sixty. You can be as grumpy as you like and people don't mind, they just say take no notice its just grandad.
You can say just about anythin' you like.
All you gotta do is raise your walking stick and all the teenagers run for their lives. its brilliant.
People don't expect you to wait in queues and be patient.
Your wife doesn't nag you because after 40 years she's finally given up.
These are just a few of the perks.

It'll start to fall out, spread out and wear out a lot earlier if you don't take care of yourself. It seems that we are not designed to live forever.
