“Once upon a time, all we talked about was fun gossip, boys, and drama.

Now we discuss our 401ks, medications, and household repairs.”

Let’s face it: We’re all getting older every single day.

So redditoru/samaunseoasked, “What is your ‘I’m getting older’ sign?”

“Ive been enjoying nature more.

I know it sounds dumb, but I used to not really care about nature all that much.

“FOMO has completely become a thing of the past for me.

I really couldn’t care less if I miss something ‘fun.’

You know what’s fun?

A person is handing a soft serve ice cream cone with a chocolate flake to another person outside an ice cream truck

Not dealing with people and sitting on my couch watchingThe Golden Girlsfor the umpteenth time.”

“The topics of conversations that come up when hanging out with friends.

Once upon a time, it was fun gossip, boys, drama, and the like.

Two hot dogs with mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, and grated cheese on a plate atop a checkered tablecloth

Now its about our 401ks, medications, household repairs, etc…”

“Remembering what things used to cost.

I’m finding that I do this so much now.

Ice cream was $3.99 for a big size.

A person, in a patterned hospital gown, is sitting on the edge of a hospital bed with their bare feet hanging off. A sofa is in the background

I’m lucky if I can find it under $7.

They can be as much as $15 now.”

“How much my diet has changed, and not by choice.

I used to love them, but they no longer agree with my digestive system.

If I tried to do that today, I would spend most of the game in the bathroom!”

“I used to have an entirely separate wardrobe for clubbing with my girlfriends.

Now, I won’t even consider wearing anything that feels too scratchy.

People having a candlelit dinner with plates of food and glasses of wine around a table

Plus, all my shoes are super practical and comfy.”

“I actually get excited to be carded at restaurants and bars.
