1. Your sports clothes take up more of your closet than your "work clothes" did.

2. Your kids have to make appointments to see you.

3. Your project or activity generates more passion and joy than when you worked.

4. You spend more money on your art/woodworking/knitting supplies than on your mortgage.

5. You decide to research your genealogy or write your memoirs, but don't have time.

6. If your daily calendar has less than 3 activities scheduled, you feel like a slacker.

7. You would like to be a legal full time resident somewhere but you never stay around long enough to know where.

8. You schedule sex for morning because by the time you hit the sack at night your lights are definitely out!

9. You are in better shape than your much younger doctor

10. Every day feels like summer camp when you were a kid.
