Forgetting things at nearly 50 is this normal?

[Frickssake]

Just been to cash machine- came away with nothing because I can't remember my PIN number. AT ALL. that was 15 mins ago and I still can't remember it. Had the same pin number for the last 3 years. AIBU to be concerned. Also how am I going to get some cash out now?

Exact same thing happened to me at the age of 37, problem was it was at the airport on the way to Egypt, and I needed to get cash out to spend there.

Couldn’t remember it at all for days and it was a bit of a problem as I had no money. Eventually my boyfriend found it in a very old WhatsApp message I’d sent him when he’d got some cash out for me. I don’t think I would have ever remembered.

I'm mid thirties and I've always had these kinds of memory issues. I've forgotten my PIN a few times before, and the more you try to think of it the less likely you are to remember it. It only comes back to me when I stop trying to remember it. I ended up with a couple of cards, I usually remember the other PIN if the first one is gone.

Sorry OP, these memory glitches are such a pain!

I have reached the point at which I keep my PIN in my phone, disguised as my father's birthday!
