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.

• 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!
