Wait till you see it'll take 1 year to from 27 to 40

[–] PunchingWood 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Almost there.

To me it feels like the last 15 years or so barely existed. Just work, work work..

Just 40 more years. Then I get to die.

Hey, it's your employer. Work harder and you have a shot at making it so you can retire in 30.

My father always used to say:

"Last thing I remember, I was 18 years old, standing on a streetcorner with my friends. This morning I woke up with a wife, 3 kids and a mortgage."

And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house."

The modem version of that is rent. Just as good but at the end of the day no further value added to ones portfolio!

That's nothing, I went from 19 to 45 in the same amount of time. sad knees noises

[–] Lemminary 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I have been in my mid twenties for almost 10 years now.

That ends suddenly and then 40 is around the corner. Life is actually short. No complaints though. The older I get the better I get at living.

I’ve become convinced that every year of COVID causes us to age at 2x.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I think every year working in healthcare aged me 5 years -.-

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

5 years from 30 to 50...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Ok reply with things I need to experience before 40

[–] flicker 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Enough regular physical activity that you aren't immobilized in your 40s.

Get up to the high country every once in awhile, out of connectivity range, away from people. Stay long enough to reset.

[–] mayo 1 points 1 month ago

therapy!

I'm also very carefully and very slowly approaching psychedelic drugs. That might be my own path though.

Therapy is a good one.

Everyone should go to at least one MDMA fueled rave in their 20s.

[–] cabron_offsets 6 points 1 month ago
