About this ebook
“Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you should have been.” —David Bowie
So long nostalgia, and goodbye resignation! This book of quotes reminds us that growing old isn’t about slowing down and taking it easy—it’s a chance to ask, “What’s next?” After all, sixty is the new fifty, seventy’s the new sixty, and older is getting younger every day. With fun, forward-looking, and inspiring wisdom, So Who’s Counting? is the ideal gift for baby boomers, Gen Xers or anyone reaching a major age milestone. Instead of cloying sentimentality or the standard sagging-body-part jokes, it strikes the perfect balance of humor, guidance, reflection, bon mots. Quotes are divided into nine sections, such as “As Old as You Feel,” “Laughter: The Best Prescription,” and “Aged to Perfection.” So Who’s Counting? is all about aging with gusto and celebrating what lies ahead.

INTRODUCTION
We always thought of the ’50s as Elvis and the postwar boom; the ’60s as Woodstock, free love, and getting high; and the ’70s as The Me Decade,
living the good life amid fondue, lava lamps, and disco madness. Now that we’re in our 50s, 60s, and 70s, those numbers mean something else entirely: our age. They also mean Social Security, little aches and pains, and the gateway to our third act.
But really, things are just beginning to happen. We’re healthier, we live longer than the generations before us; we have later-in-life careers; we
