Signs that you are getting older

[Master]

When your child gets taller than you.

[Gandalf]

As we grow older, we gain not just wrinkles and grey hair but knowledge and wisdom with the benefit of hindsight.

But if you could write a letter to yourself in the past, what would you tell yourself to do differently?

That was the question posed to pensioners in a recent survey, who revealed the events of the past - or the events that didn’t happen - that cause them the biggest regret in life.

Here are the four big things they wished they could go back in time to amend:

I wish I had travelled more

Money and responsibility often the key factors for us not acting on our wonderlust urges, but people in the 70s not having travelled enough as the most common heartache of all.
A whopping 33 per cent of those questioned admitted to regretting not having seen more of the world while they were young enough to do so.
I wish I had saved more money

It’s easier said than done, but just under a third of 70-somethings - 31 per cent - said they wished they had saved more money ahead of retiring.

The survey revealed that people in the age bracket were still saddled with an average of £31,504 worth of debt, including mortgages, credit cards, overdrafts and personal loans.
It also found people in their 70s had an average income of £21,617, only slightly less than the average 30-year-old, who earns around £24,763.

I wish I hadn’t lost touch with a friend or family member

As we go through life, we never stop making new acquaintances, but it’s old friends and family members that people in their 70s wish they’d stayed in touch with the most.
A total of 17 per cent of respondents said they lamented losing touch with someone close to them due to inattention or neglect.

I wish I hadn’t lost a partner from the past

This isn’t the case for everyone, but many people regret not voicing their unspoken thoughts to “the one that got away”.

One in seven - or 14 per cent of those surveyed - said they had romantic regrets of the past, concluding that time and perspective had not diminished the heartache for a former flame.

I consider myself the ultimate rootless man. If anyone is going to come back as a ghost because they have lost their way it is I. I sometimes think about where I am going to be buried when I die. I don't really belong anywhere, you know. I guess it doesn't really matter. Ye of a wistful disposition.

Still has to be watching people 'get old' from the counter at work. You remember a client come in when their "first" child was born and all of the sudden the same client walks in this Saturday and that child is now a college freshman loudly talking on multiple media devices and rolling his eyes. It's a trip.

Also made a phone cord joke today and literally got this look

Oh, hell yeah!!!

I'm looking at my cousin with someone who looked just like her...Who is this?
Your daughter?

Last time I spoke with my niece (sister's daughter) I said slow down on that eating. You'd be surprised how quick you can gain weight. You'll go from Halle Berry to Healthy Berry just like your mom.

She looked like I was crazy.. "My mom had a nice figure?"
I'm thinking...has it been that long ago, I had to tell fellaz...step off my sister G!!
Uh...yeah...it has...
