How Old Are You?

[DaBronxPats14]

I'm 20.

Yeah I'm 20 also........20 X 3!

 

[captain insano]

Old enough to remember. Uncle sams on the beach in hull. And see a concert at the old Cape Cod coliseum.

I'm 20.

You've got a lot of fun ahead of you. Don't waste it.

One piece of valuable advice I'd give myself when I was 20. Open up a retirement account and put at least 100 bucks a month into it always. Every month for the rest of your working life. You'll retire a multi millionaire.

Other than that have fun. Life is short. I know. Haha.

Old enough to walk to Fenway Park from my dorm on a beautiful October Sunday in 1966; have a total stranger stop me at Kenmore Square to give me a ticket at the 50 yard line because he had to miss the game; and then to see the late, great Jim Nance rush for 208 yards and two touchdowns in a 24 to 21 Patriot victory over the hated Oakland Raiders.

It's a little surprising that 40-50 is less than 30-40 and 50-60. Seems strange that the 20s were divided in half.

Gen Xers will never measure up to the boomers in anything

Not everything. Gen X folks will destroy baby boomers in ratio of money given into social security vs. money in social security benefits received.

Getting old SUCKS

Beats the alternative.....

 

[BlueThunder]

Jim Nance was a bruising runner !! He died too young,,

 

[BlueThunder]

Turned 76 this month.......

Been a Boston Sports fan since I was around 12 yrs old......but my football team was the Giants until Boston finally got an AFL team

 

[Clonamery]

Beats the alternative.....

That it doesn’t suck?

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

That it doesn’t suck?

I was thinking of the underground condo as the alternative to getting old.....

Going to try not to turn this too political or into an age argument but in today’s day and age with housing costs, student loans, and just everything being more expensive...how does one have an extra 100$ a month? My wife is a paralegal and I am a vet tech two pretty decent professions and yet we start every month 500$ in the hole and have to work overtime/2nd job just to make ends meet. Which doesn’t always happen. And no we don’t buy a 5$ coffee every morning or any “easy to cut down on” habits like that.

I would laugh and joke that of course everyone is 31+ because only old people still use football forums but...here I am, 29 and still using a football forum...jokes gonna be on me soon

Move. It's really as simple as that

Older than my NKeal Harry jersey

After looking at the latest results of the poll, I think we all ought to help Ian figure out ways to skew his demographic a bit younger. Clearly we haven't reached the under 30 Millennial market. That might help his ad revenue.

I mean where are they. We ARE on the internet aren't we? Maybe he needs an app.

I was 12 when Brady got drafted

Not sure. Maybe change some of your life choices. Do you rent an apartment? If so why not a cheaper one? Or why not buy a mobile home in a trailer park?

Do you have kids? Travel to Disney?

Two nice cars? Cheaper cars are not an option?

I don't know about your circumstances but in my life I do know I could have put 100 bucks aside if I had made better choices and realized that doing so would have made my sixties a lot easier financially.

You reach a point first when your doctors are younger than you...and at a later stage when they are your children's age........

I refer to the whole process as the opportunity to make "new friends".. not all that concerned about their ages, more concerned about their confidence in their craft that translates into good medical care.. actually my preference is women doctors there is something about them when I get a "scary" symptom.. they usually exude some comforting words that gets me through whatever crisis I am experiencing..

Fortunately the crisis's are not that great, but the internet is a terrific tool for scaring the crap out of you when you get that "new symptom"..
