Poor judgment and decision making
Making a bad decision once in a while
Inability to manage a budget Missing a monthly payment
Losing track of the date or the season
Forgetting which day it is and remembering later
Difficulty having a conversation Sometimes forgetting which word to use
Misplacing things and being unable to retrace steps to find them
Losing things from time to time
...but it is not a ‘normal’ part of ageing
