4. But you can still push them from time to time.

5. You know how to keep your living space decently clean.

7. People actually come to you for advice.

8. But you’re not too old to ask for advice yourself.

9. You’re experienced enough to know when something is overpriced.

10. And when you shouldn’t skimp.

11. You’re old enough to decide you’re just not going to read “Moby Dick.”

12. Or go skydiving.

And you’re OK with that.

13. People look up to you.
