Getting old sucks simply because your body gets old. You're weaker, you recover slower, you have to work that much harder at the gym to just maintain or simply not deteriorate at a rapid pace, your eyesight goes, your hearing goes, your memory, your flexibility, you wake up sore, your teeth fall out, you gray or you go bald (actually that last part i don't care about), your prostate expands, you still want to have sex but you're physically incapable of getting it up, you become incontinent, you have a myriad of health problems and increased chance of cancer, diabetes, and a plethora of other genetic predispositions that have evolved to manifest themselves only after you're past your reproductive age (thank you natural selection).
But hey, you remove the things mentioned above, and being old is great! You're that much more experienced. You know what you want and what it takes to get it. And I bet your car insurance is super low.
i vote old = terrible
