Grumble grumble about SW age categories

This is probably just silly vanity but I resent that SW has me in the "61-69" age category. I am not yet 65, which is the traditional age of retirement and being officially a "senior citizen" around here. I feel like there is a big different between me, practically still in my 50s, and someone aged 69 who is almost seventy!

Anyone else perturbed by being lumped together with "much" older (or younger) people here? :)

Nope! I love being old and distinguishing myself from the kids these days....

@SumKindaMunster Yeah but you get to be in the very specific "51-55" age category! Bet you wouldn't like being labelled "51-59" 😛 (or maybe you would be fine with that like a sensible mature person :) )

@ServantOfTheGoddess Maybe...I dunno. I stopped caring about getting older somewhere in my 40's. I like being old in a lot of ways...I have wisdom, experience, perspective, way WAY more patience and a much longer view of life.

The only downside is the physical aspects...wish I had the energy and vigor of my youth, but other than that I like being an old fart....😆

@SumKindaMunster ikr about the physical aspects! If I had been properly warned about that I would have made sure to have way more fun with my body when it was younger!!
