Default Best and worst things about getting older?

Inspired by Gusto's thread on height loss.

Best : you get a lot wiser
Worst : grey hairs

For me it's my sheer lack of energy and being a sloth that's a negative. Positive for me is not caring what other people think of me and getting to be a grumpy old man at times

Best. Less likely to be attacked in the street.
Worst. Ugliness sets in in the end.

Well watching people that were fit and healthy get older and weaker and basically suffer.
Seeing people around you die

I think there's worst things than grey hairs , some people even look cool / more distinguished .

I'd say worst thing is physical problems like arthritis or memory loss

Best thing is life experiences I guess

Best thing is you recognise a #### when you see one…
Worse thing is knowing you have less time to live than what you have lived…

Best - You have more control over your life
Worst - You start noticing the darker aspects of life

Apologies if the worst one is a bit too grim.

I'm looking forward to my free bus pass if I make it to that stage. Be able to jump on the bus to the seaside whenever I like and it won't cost me a penny.

Best:

Taken more seriously by other adults once you get past about 30.

More life experience

Give fewer ****s


Worst:

Time passes quicker and quicker (entire months dissappear in a blink. Sometimes a year

Everything starts to hurt (old injuries you got as a teen come back to haunt, etc.)

One of the best things has to be going into a shop and not having to chose just ONE thing from the chocolate/ sweet counter

Most 13 year olds tend to think they're rebels by listening to Metal Music.

The senior citizens train pass has saved me a fortune

Worst thing is health obviously, growing old is not for the squeamish
