Signs you are getting old
Well I recently turned 25 and I am starting to notice the real world. Here are some signs I noticed that I am getting old, or is it mature? Who knows; but here are some things you have to look forward to. Of course some will vary depending on your job etc. Parents please, I know you have much longer lists, this is more for the mid twenties people and yes I know some parents are in their mid twenties.
1. You look at purchases and ask yourself are they tax deductable
2. You decide renting is dumb and it is time to purchase a house
3. The amount of classical music on your Ipod is rapidly expanding
4. When at the bar you ask a girl (or boy)what she does for a living and actually care about the response
5. Holidays are a celebration because of increased pay
6. Going to the beach can no longer be done on a whim
7. You find yourself setting up deffered compensation plans
8. You find yourself comparing Bluecross packages
9. Your friends are poppin out kids
10. Your days of twisted tuesdays, wasted wednesdays, and thirsty thursdays are a thing of the past
11. you see people from the past at bars who you are certain are not 21, but in fact turn out to be older
but fear not, for it is not entirely bad!
Feel free to share some things that remind you that time is moving on

RE: Signs you are getting old
I am 25 as well
1) You find yourself attending more and more weddings
2) You cant sleep in later than 9am on the weekend
3) You realize all the classes you should have taken in college
4) Happy Hour drinks cost $6-10 unless you want to hang out with college kids
5) You dont pre game when going out to the bar
6) You can afford good tickets to sporting events
7) Start saving money for things that you cant even imagine happening (ex. I have have started saving money for my childrens college education but I dont even have a serious girlfriend)
8) You realize how much money you can save by bringing lunch to work everyday (seriously it is amazing)
That is just a few some good some not so good

RE: Signs you are getting old
You forget how old you are.
Am i 26, or 27? I have to do the math from the year I was born to remember sometimes. I can only imagine this gets worse.

Signs that you're getting older...
When people significantly younger than you start posting "signs that they are getting older" for themselves! ARGH! LOL
Cheers!
