Japan, long a society obsessed with age, is now obsessing about — old age! By 2055, it is predicted that half the population will be over 65! OMG, what can you do?!

While 65 is the official age that you can receive a pension check, don't kid yourself — the aging process starts much earlier. So you need to be ready. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to overcoming it. Don't fall a victim to aging.

My neighbor Kazu-chan, who is 60, reminds me all the time that I am already getting old. While I refuse to believe that 47 is old, I do admit I have recognized some possible signs of aging.
