I've heard since I was fifty or so that you're only as old as you feel! I feel pretty good these days, but no matter how you cut it, getting that Medicare card makes you feel a little old.
I turn 65 TODAY!
It does mean that my health insurance costs will be going down. That's a real good thing! My knees are in bad shape and I'll probably be able to get them fixed now.
I think I get a discount for haircuts at Great Clips. That's good too! I've been getting my haircuts on a regular basis so I don't want you to think I've been holding off waiting for the discount to kick in. But...two dollars is two dollars.
I still have two kids in college and those costs don't go down now that I've turned 65. I wish they did.
All in all I don't feel much different than I did when I was 64. I'm still blessed with good health, a wonderful family, and outstanding friends including many I have met on ActiveRain.
One difference...now I have that Medicare Card to remind me I'm 65!
