Worst part of getting old is the gift of wisdom, patience and understanding. An increased level of intelligence and often times a greater level of financial ability........and to be left with a broken, tired, nearly useless body with which to enjoy it. Edited January 11, 2013 by Caster

Depends on the person. I think the aches and pains are worse.

[Jonnin]

Its going to depend on what goes out on your body.  For me, its my poor hands -- I am only 40 but my hands are about like someone of age 70.  Sitting in front of a PC for 25 years will do that to you.   Second issue would be eyesight --- mine was never good, and darn it all, after getting it fixed its on its way out again.  Most everything else still works but I have a long, long way to go hopefully.

Oh my .....and shoulders can't even take off hoddie with-out doing a little dance to get arms  and shirt over head.

Now you didn't have to bring that up. :D That's a rough one on me.

What doesn't hurt, doesn't work.

Each birthday I'm 1 year closer to becoming a dirty old man.

[KaNuckles]

Well...I'm a plumber and I had an old man ask me once if I could adjust the water level in his toilet bowl lower so his nuts didn't go for a swim every time he sat down. That part of getting old probably sucks pretty bad.

Joint pain. I try to move as much as possible. After sitting for 15 minutes I have to warm everything up again.

[Caster]

Joint pain.

 

Hippy told me once if you have joint pain....you're doing it wrong.  I dunno what hell he was talkin about.

When I turned 30 I developed a spot on the very center of my back, about a half inch in diameter, where I was no longer able to reach in order to scratch an itch. The spot was small enough that having an itch in the spot was rare but a PITA, nonetheless. Every year since, the spot has increased in size, thus increasing the chance of containing an itch. I fear that the spot will continue to spread, eventually taking my entire back, or heaven forbid, the rest of my body. Modern medical science has developed quite a few inexpensive prosthetics intended to assist in scratching...and so far they have enriched my life. I am thankful for my $.99 bamboo back scratcher.

I'm still trying to decide. So many negatives, it's a quite confusing question.

I'm only in my 60's. Ask again in a couple of decades. I might be qualified to answer then.

[TSprint1]

Realizing that mirrors are not  your friend.

[Caster]

I'd like to add, the realization that soon, I will not be an asset to my family but instead, a burden. A lot of people are abhorred by the idea of "opting out" that has come along lately. Especially the Christian community but as I ponder myself costing more resources than I can provide, I can certainly understand that point of view.
