When I turned 29, I felt pretty old. (Am still 29.)

When I'm in court, I feel kinda old. Especially when prosecuting those individuals who are slightly older than me.

Thinking about life insurance, health insurance, car depreciation, and the mortgage interest deduction from taxes, rather than NCAA football, "how late do you have to work tonight, so we can hang out thereafter," the next paper due, new movies, etc, etc, etc.

Wondering about how many more years before retirement (that just happened recently). THAT makes me feel old.

I really don't see how. At 29 you have a long time until retirement. It should make you feel old when you think about it and realize you only have a year or two.

Good topic.  Recent things that have made me feel old.  Okay, not just feel old, but to realize that I AM old.
1.  Stumbled across a blurb in the newspaper listing the top 10 pop songs on the chart this week.  Not only did I not know any of the songs, I only recognized one of the artists.
2.  The fact that I read the above referenced article in a newspaper and not online.  Only old people like me read actual newspapers anymore.
3.  While strolling through a couple antique stores with the wife a couple weeks ago, I kept seeing toys from my youth.  In an antique store!  WTF. 
4.  Getting home from a "wild night out on the town" at about the same time that I used to be just leaving the house to go out for a night on the town.  Related note: Waking up in the morning at about the same time that I used to be getting home from going out. 
5.  I have become totally invisible to women under 25.

Going to a Hooters for some wings and seeing the girls who look like 7th graders and feeling like a pervert.

Things that make me feel old...
realizing that the Cardinals are in the NFC West and playing a divisional game against the Rams.

My brain still wants to put them in the NFC East with Dallas/New York/Philly/Washington.

Don't even get me started on the Seahawks switching conferences. Cheesy

I feel old when I have a busy weekend and I come home and fall asleep early on the couch.

Also, I feel old when I realize that the TV shows I now watch (news, mostly, but also history stuff) have advertisements for catheters, life insurance, reverse mortgages, erection pills, etc.  I used to see a bunch of commercials for cereal.
