You know you are getting older when

• You log on to your email and all the new emails contain photos of children. Children that belong to your friends and siblings.


• 9pm is no longer the beginning of the evening; It is now referred to as "bed time".


• Falling asleep on the bus is no longer a rarity but an everyday occurrence.


• Your paycheck is split between your IRA, bills, rent and savings account instead of a new outfit, makeup, drinks and dinner.


• You bring a lunch to work everyday not because there are no restaurants nearby but because you would rather save the money for your future house or trip to Tanzania.
