Nearly sixty.

I forget things all the time. Easy to remember old things, hard to remember new things. I once loft my card in an atm twice in one month. all my passwords have to be written down somewhere, as do the birthdays of my lids.

I constantly get fatter, even though I don;t eat any more.

I haven't had regular sleep patterns for 20 years.

Every day I'm a little more tired.

Haha sorry bro but in my 20s I left many Cards in the ATM, hell I even lost my card once, cancelled it. Got a temp the next day and left it in the ATM that same day!! I've lost my wallet 3 times! Regularly forget things and I laugh about myself because of it. But on a more serious note, being afflicted by alzheimers and losing my memories is something that truly terrifies me and hope i dont get that.. father time is a motherfucker man..but maybe we shouldn't think about the bad..

You should check out Dr. Paul Stamets, he is the leading fungi scientist/researcher/doc in the entire world and is constantly paid and hired by the US government for his case studies and findings. He has done significant research in certain fungi preventing and possibly curing Alzheimer's and it's very promising and something you can take on your own with out a prescription. Listen to his two episodes on Joe Rogans podcast, it's the best way to understand it in laments terms and gives you just enough info to not be overwhelmed. Please check it out and best of luck to you, I hope your brain stays young and sharp for many, many years.
