Hitting the big 5-0 is a challenge. No one wants to get old but that number is just hanging there like a noose from a gallows. But you don’t have to get down about it. Here are five awesome things about turning 50

Nobody looks at you anymore

You can get a haircut, not get a haircut, you can wear a pair of worn out tracksuit pants to the store… it doesn’t matter! Nobody cares what you look like, because nobody finds you attractive anymore. In fact, nobody even acknowledges your existence at all! That’s because you’re old. You can finally look any way you want to, so enjoy it!

You can complain as much as you like

If a young person complains about something everyone goes on and on about them being a moaning millennial who doesn’t know how good they have it. If you’re over 50 you can complain about anything and people will just nod and smile. They don’t care what it is you’re complaining about, it’s just what old people are expected to do. So, go for it!

You groan whenever you move

When you’re over 50 every time you bend over, get up or sit down you groan. But at least it proves you’re still alive, right? Right?!

Your body doesn’t respond to exercise like it used to

This might sound like a bad thing, but it’s not. It releases you from the burden of exercise! Whatever you do you’re not going to get rid of your fat stomach, or the flab under your arms so why bother exercising at all? You’re finally free of worrying about it!

Wherever you are in life that’s where you are

After 50 you know you’re not going to make a difference anymore and whatever you’ve done, is all you’re going to do. So relax and be happy knowing that you’ve tried all you can and there’s no point in trying anymore. Go and get drunk!
