Not lookin' forward to it, really.

Uncle gave me some advice when I hit 50: "Take inventory now of everything that hurts, and everything that doesn't hurt. You'll need it for future reference."

The year I turned 58, my dad said something to me about being in my middle 50s. I said, "Dad! There only one 50 left after 58. The middles have come and gone!"

I am now in my last year of my middle 60s. How time flies.

Seriously, I went a whole year thinking I was 59, and telling people I was 59. Then when my next birthday rolled around and I told a friend I was turning sixty, he looked at me strange.

"Weren't you born in 1945?" he asked.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Then you're turning 59, not 60." And he was right! That whole year I had been wrong about how old I was.

I got to be 59 all over again! Plus, as a bonus, I got to put of turning 60 by another whole year.

May your 59th be a happy one too.

So that they can start tapping their IRAs, 401Ks, etc. without the 10% early distribution penalty?

Absent a disaster, I won't need to do this, but others might.
