I just caught up on reading the post and based on what I trad aging is a state of mind. In fact at my gym there is a couple in their nineties that work the weight circuit bike and treadmill religiously.[flag]

50 was easy...60 in a few months has brought out some aches and pains that have slowed me down some. I can't complain, I walk my sugarbush all Winter, everything I was born with still works without medication! :winkingthumbsup"

Guess I'm due for an update. 47. Will be 48 in September. Getting a few aches and pains which I take care of with daily stretching.

I look to my Mom for inspiration in ignoring age. She's 82 and still cares for both her home and her cottage by herself due to the fact that her only son lives 6 hours away. She has "a guy" she hires once in a while for grunt-work, but I still have to yell at her when she goes out to the cottage by herself and stands on a ladder to clean out gutters.

She's got aches and pains but chooses to ignore them. I know that there are some pains that can't be ignored, but hers are the garden-variety type that don't indicate anything serious other than the fact she's been alive for 82% of a century.

The important thing, she says, is to "keep moving." "Once you decide to stop, it's really hard to get moving again. You just gotta push."

She is a force of pure willpower.

I as mentioned wa back when bought my jet boat at the young age of 72 Going on my fourth year with it. That said some of the things Iuse to be able to do are not as easy or have been taken off the table. Recently I just had a total knee replacement and still in recovery mode. That said I can now walk 2+ miles. My next goal is to be riding My bike. To that end I just purchased an electric bike or will tomorrow if all goes well. Anyway my point is yes you will get aches and pain as you grow older however continue to exercise as that should help slow the agin and also remember life is to short not to have fun. [flag]

As to getting out of debt that is a great idea but I have found at least when I was younger that once I got debt free something else came requiring money. [flag]

When I bought my 2012 212X I felt like the young kid, and although that wasn't that long ago I feel old now. How old is everyone?

I think we had this poll on the other site, but don't remember seeing it here.

I'm 29 years old.
I am sooo old.. I`m 45
