Growing old is one of the things you simply can’t stop, no matter how hard you try.

And while many people say you get “older and wiser” as the years go on, it had me thinking about everything people learn as they experience each decade.

Maybe everything aches just a little more than it used to when you were in your 20s?

Perhaps you finally have the financial freedom to go on that dream vacation you have been planning since you were a kid?

Or, maybe you realized how precious time is and have a much greater appreciation for the little things in life?
