    My knees. I am past 30, and my knees somehow don’t want to bend anymore.

    On the other hand the older I get, the smarter I get about life. Do some physical activity on a regular basis, keep some long term goals in mind, don’t let your emotional state depend on external factors.

    Find balance in your life and know your limits and you will be all right.

    When I get up after sitting on the ground for a while my knees are stiff.

    Get off my lawn.

      Your getting older. They are asking the abstract noun representing your aging what some signs are. I don’t think your getting older is going to be able to answer, though, and I doubt it has much knowledge of signs.

    The music I grew up with is “classic” and the “hits of yesterday” that I don’t recognise on the radio is “young people’s music”.

      My tolerance for incorrect use of your / you’re gets lower.

      Quite the opposite.

      The older you get the less clever it feels to point out the common mistakes of others

    Pain. Just pain and exhaustion doing everyday things. Recovery time from the same pain taking longer and longer as time goes on.

    I’m not even 30 yet, and it really puts a damper on things.

      You might want to get that checked out. You shouldn’t be feeling pain to that level in your 20s. I’m 40+ and do not have pain and exhaustion from everyday things. I work outside daily on my farm as well. So you really shouldn’t be feeling this at 20.

        About 50% of it is probably obesity, the rest… well, chronic pain is very common in my family.

          Are there any people in your family that are not obese that have chronic pain? If not then I’ll bet it’s closer to 100% due to obesity.

          You only get one life to live… eat right and exercise, you can do it! I am half way to my target weight after 6 months of busting my ass and I feel a million times better.

    Vision. It gets hard to read in low light, driving at night is tough, you can’t quite figure out how close or far to hold a book or phone.

    Alcohol. You just don’t shake it off like you did when you were younger. Now you really think about whether that next drink will be worth the shitty sleep.

    Money. You talk about property taxes and 401k contributions more often than you ever thought you would.

    Patience. You’re more patient with kids and your parents, and way less patient with everything else.

      Memory and visual attention when you get closer to 60. You can’t remember all 10 digits of a new phone number with an unfamiliar area code; often one of the 4 last numbers will end up transposed with a neighbor. Visual attention: looking on your garage shelves or cupboards for an item and not seeing it even though it’s in plain sight.
