Hey everyone. I have a friend who is about to be 37… He is a tad nervous because let’s be honest 37 is a pretty big milestone. He can now officially say he is “pushing 40”. He also will officially be in the echelons of younger middle age. He can now safely say that he is a middle-aged man 🫠. Luckily he has a lot of things going for him. He already has a family. He has an okay job and he is about to earn his master’s degree which will up his income threshold! But still on a dark and stormy night. He can’t help but be nervous and ask himself…Good Lord, how on Earth did you get this old as he looks upon his gray facial hair?
I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.
