OK, most of us. Hell, Mopar Jamie might even be 40 now (shudders, also where is that guy?)
Anyway, today I went into Walgreens to buy some makeup remover for my daughter and a few things for myself. I got to checkout and the cashier asked if I get the "senior discount" - so I asked what's up with that?
Today (in store, all week online apparently) you get 20% off (with restrictions - lots of them) if you are 55 or older. That's not bad at all!
I never thought about it but I bet there a lot of those kinds of deals out there. Not for car parts, maybe, but do you know of any good ones??

LOL yes, there are a lot of discounts for seniors, some at 55, more at 60, and then you hit the magic number 62......and I am a year and a half away from that number!

Speak for yourself, Whippersnapper!
Verizon rep claims I'm eligible for a senior discount on unlimited data (which I could definitely use) but their website doesn't support that notion. I need to either sit on the phone for 2 hours or, for the ultimate old person experience, go talk to a human at the store.....

You young'uns crack me up I turned 70 - a ridiculous number, seems to me - in October. Dang, I'm way behind on claiming senior discounts...probably because I don't view myself as a senior Guess I'd better start grinding, I'm already offering frank (but tactful) opinions

Get acknowledged everywhere I go. I think with the sign of the times it’s refreshing to hear the occasional thanks. As a vet, I usually don’t wear anything that identifies me as such however it been my experience that all those who have served presents themselves as vets. As far as senior discount, take what you can get.

"what about me?" (I'm 54).

I just wish all my parts would sync up to the same age. Some are still 30, others not even close.

Carsten i can't remember 50 minutes ago, let alone remember when i was 50........... Wait till you get to 75 like me....where was I going with this...... I hear they are working on a senior GPS app. Not only does it tell you how to get where you are going, it will also tell you why you went there to start with.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Wendy's gives a 10% Senior Discount on everything except value meals. You have to ask for it, they don't volunteer to give it.
I believe there are websites like the AARP that publish lists of senior discounts. I should take my own advice and check it out myself! So does Culvers. Most of the time I forget to ask for the discount. That's another sign of getting old!

It ain't me and I'm sure it never will be. Surprised I've actually made it this far, it wasn't because I tried.

That's some funny stuff. 59 here. When I first step out of my truck after driving for an hour my one knee is stiff, not painful, just stiff (arthritis?) and I look like I'm 80 for the first 20 steps Sad getting old. So much I wanted to do. I consciously look at things knowing I'm too old to do that; change career, learn to scuba dive, chase old women I'll be 66 in two months. Retired three years. Each day is a cycle in life.
5:30am try and get out of bed feel like 70 6:00am get coffee feel like 60 8:00am have breakfast feel like 50 9:00am out in the garage or outside, working on car or yard feel like 45 10:00am starting to loosen up feel like 40 Noon take the motorcycle for a ride feel like 30 2:00pm relaxed from ride, slowing down feel like 40 4:00pm have dinner start to get lazy feel like 50 6:00pm shower and watch news, feel like 60 8:00pm starting to dose off feel like 65 again

I want to go there." Now it's "I would have like to have gone there." Not always because there isn't time to do it, but at 59 with 2 little kids what am I going to do in Ibiza?
