I remember 65. What starts to get to me, as an oldie, is the number of friends who have died.

That is the downsize to getting old, when all your friends have died before you. people in your peer group have the most effect. Most common experiences to draw from.

I knew a woman who made it to 98, around 40 she started making friends a generation younger than she was. Pretty smart.
