From the publisher

Whether you're over the hill, approaching the hill, or rolling down it, this is the ultimate guide to life after 50--so get your readers and settle in! Getting closer to the big Five-O? Know someone who is? Sure, 50 might be a scary number, but it's also a state of mind, an opportunity to drape an afghan over your shoulders when you're chilly or start enjoying cruises. For anyone in denial about reaching the half-century milestone, New York Times bestselling author Richard Smith clues you in on certain signs that you can't ignore. Because even if you feel like you're at the top of your game, you know you're 50 when . . . - Blowing up balloons gets you winded.
- You start jogging with an ID.
- It can take up to fifteen minutes to climb out of a hammock.
- "Staying power" refers to remaining awake through Cats.
- You think menopause entitles you to park in a handicap zone.
- Your tailor diplomatically suggests it's time to let out your barbecue apron.
- You actually start to obey the "Don't Walk" signal.
- Florida starts looking good. So go ahead and blow your retirement savings on cruises, trips to Paris, and plastic surgery--you've got another 50 years to go!

Not only does turning 50 mean you survived your 40s, but you get to join the AARP, answer your front door in bedroom slippers, and spend your kid's inheritance on liposuction. You also know you're 50 when...


Your main form of aerobic exercise is getting up to change the channelAn obscene phone call makes you chuckleYou think a mosh pit is something found at the center of an exotic fruitYou wonder who'll die first--you or your moneyYou wish the "ol' ticker" had a quartz movement"Performance anxiety" refers to your golf game


With 200 of these cleverly illustrated clues and quips as well as comparison charts, entertaining graphs, and hilarious lists, "You Know You're 50 When... will be the must-have, must-give birthday present for every soon-to-be-50 American.
