If you ask me, being “old” really isn’t the horrible state of affairs we feared in our twenties. We have a bit of money, we have space of our own, and now that we’re “old,” no one thinks we’re lame if we want to order takeout and binge Netflix every weekend.
If you’re “old,” though – a Millennial or GenX – you’re definitely going to recognize every last one of these 27 pictures.
So please, enjoy your trip down memory lane.
