My bank account and accomplishments say I’m 25. Check & mate.
40 is the new bankrupt
Gen x’er here, weren’t y’all like starting things in 1981…wouldn’t that make you comingup on a different decade? (I’ll take my rotten tomatoes now, high velocity please)
I just turned 41, fuck you for accuracy…

My father referred to me as ‘almost 40’ the other day, which I deemed rude so I called him ‘almost 60’, which he also deemed rude.
My parents started referring to me as “middle-aged” when I was like 35 specifically because they knew it would drive me nuts. And with the current trajectory of American life expectancy, the math might actually bear them out.
Nah, man, engage your spite, live to 100, curse them as you die. I believe in you.
As a millienal rapidly approaching 40 and with my first kid on the way…this image speaks to me.
Congrats on the first kid! I have young kids and recommend getting some cardio in now for more energy. It’s been helping me.
Thanks! Haha I’ve been working on that as well and some arm/core strength for rocking it haha.
That’s a good idea too. I threw my back out once with the first one from rocking because I didn’t realize I was sort of compressing my spine to give my arms a break. It’s one of those things that doesn’t matter if you do it once, but over and over again, it sneaks up on you.
Where is the button in Lemmy for flagging posts as “false and misleading”?
Forty was fine. I didn’t feel old at all and was in a decent place mentally. I’m now 49, and I have a feeling 50 is going to be somewhat jarring. It just feels undeniably mature.
3 more months!! I’m excited! Aging is a privilege!
Meanwhile, retirement age is speeding away into the distance…
There was never any hope to retire
I remember when I felt invincible, like the world is my oyster. It felt like yesterday. Even though I didn’t achieve everything that I hoped, I’m glad I was raised to just enjoy the journey.
I’m like one of the youngest millenials… Still a long way to go thank you very much!
30 in a couple months, not ready but at least I got a house so I can feel mildly like I have my shit together.
Right? Im part of the youngest millennials and i turn 30 in a few months. Its been a fucking wild experience being stuck between two generations.
Edit: i guess someone disagrees with my self-declared millennial status, lol.
Looks at me brother. I am already in my mid-40s.
Fist time I got an AARP flyer in the mail I wanted to punch the mailman.
But your doctor warned you about overexerting yourself like that, right?
Turned 40 last week, just got mine. Definite WTF moment for me
