7 Things Only People Over 40 Understand

Memorizing a phone number

A few decades ago, you had to know certain phone numbers by heart or write them on a piece of paper and make sure that you never lose that paper, because otherwise, you couldn’t find the person that you wanted to call. Of course, things have changed, and all you have to do now is to save the phone number on your device. Not to mention that it’s easier for you to call someone whenever you want because you have unlimited data, calls and text messages as well. 

Nowadays, there are people who don’t even know their partner’s phone number. According to experts, it is important to teach your children your phone number, because they should know it if they are lost and need to find you. In other words, if they know your number by heart, they can tell it to the police or someone else and they could find you faster. Well, it seems that memorizing a phone number can still be useful. 

 

Inserting a ‘for sale’ sign on your used car

Remember when you had to put up a sign with “it’s for sale” when you wanted to get rid of your used car and hoped that someone would see it and buy it? Of course, the number of people who could see that sign was very low, unlike today when you can place an ad on the internet and it can be seen by many people. In addition, you are more likely to sell your car quickly if you do so. 

According to experts, if you want to sell your car these days, all you have to do is to opt for advertising it on the right site, prepare your documents, set an attractive ‘asking price’, set up a test drive, and close the deal. In the past, you had to ask your neighbors about the price to help you set an attractive asking price, but today you can simply check out various sites and see the price of similar cars there.
