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

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Almost there.

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

[–] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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."

Letting the days go by!

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@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

The knee pain is too real and I'm only halfway there

[–] random_character_a@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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.

[–] Sauerkraut@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] dukatos@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

5 years from 30 to 50...

[–] deuleb_biezelbob@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Ok reply with things I need to experience before 40

[–] flicker@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months 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@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months 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.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

lol wait until 40something.

Can relate. 2016 was 1,905,216 years ago. August 1 was 10,573 years ago.
