4. What...did you turn 26?

If it makes you feel better, 40 is approaching sooner!

In college I used to annoy my friends by rounding them up when they had their something-fifth birthdays. Now I'm the old one!

7. Here's a hint...the people who obsess about age are the
ones whom you can tell exactly how old they are.

6. What do you do now, you ask?
You brace yourself for how quickly it's all gonna happen.

Saving money might not be a bad idea, either.

17. I never noticed I was getting old until
my friend told me that when he turned 25 he was depressed for a month. I'm three months older than him and just turned 26. He totally put me in a funk when he said that. I'll be 31 next week, but I look like I'm about 20 so I can get away with my immaturity. :)

15. Oh wow, now that you put it that way. It's less than 15 years
until I reach 50. Eek. I wonder what the retirement age will be when I get to the current retirement age. That has been a recurring theme for generation X. I'll bet they enslave us all to Wal-Mart as greeters or something equally hideous like another unfulfilling and unappreciated position. I had better get busy with some strategery (sic for the sake of humor) if I am going to win that Powerball if and when NC ever makes good on its promise to have the lottery here.
