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.
My bank account and accomplishments say I’m 25. Check & mate.
‘Reality hits you hard, bro’
I’m like one of the youngest millenials… Still a long way to go thank you very much!
40? The oldest millenials are turning 45 this year.
3 more months!! I’m excited! Aging is a privilege!
Reminder that your generation contains all the best and worst of humanity, like other generations, and is not a like collective.
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)
Leading up to my recent 40th, I went on a little tour of contacting people to tie up loose ends/seek closure where it was lacking. It was really helpful, even though at least one person worried I was planning to kill myself.
the person worrying about you sounds like a great person
I won’t be able to handle the embarrassment of being where I am while being 40.
I’m gen Z and I’m less than two years from thirty. The years do keep coming, and they do not stop.
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.
My family lives for freaking ever i won’t “middle aged” until my 48th
Oldest end of gen z, staring down the barrel of 30. Low key excited but still a lot to process lmao
40 has already caught me, but its OK because I still kick ass.
