Well. I personally don't think you have to get old unless you just decide to give up. Age is a number and a state of mind. My Mom is 83 and can run circles around me. Her age in numbers is old, but she isn't. I knew I was getting older when I started saying things like "why do kids do such and such"...I thought oh no stop this right now. I don't plan on ever getting old mentally.

When you lose the kid inside of you. Many people of various ages remain young by keeping active and enjoying life to the fullest. Others decide that they are too old to do whatever as it may make them look foolish, that is when you know your getting old. I am past the half century mark in my life but continue to enjoy each day as if it is my last, take in concerts, am getting remarried and play as often as I can with my grandkids, this helps to keep me young.

When younger teen type turds tell you you are.
I really felt old, and offended the first time some teen told me I was old (I'm 43 now, almost 44), but then I got to thinking, wow, at least I'm handling it, and to boot, the future will be more screwed up, so I ought to be feeling sorry for this kid, not mad! :)

When you feel old. There are plenty of older people who are old in age but not old in spirit. So you can look like your 70 and feel like your 20.

Its all in your mind and not so much in your body. Sure it takes longer to do things some time. But, if you don't feel old in your mind your not.
