I have one of these birthdays coming up tomorrow and I’m not going to lie I’m not looking forward to it. I by no means feel like I should be this old already. Where the heck does time go.

29 was brutal for me at the time. I felt like I was turning 30, so I mourned the loss of my 20s a year early. The 30s turned out to be incredible with our kids being born then, and getting go experience the joys of kids under 10. The 40s were better financially, and I loved my kids as teenagers too, but shit gets a lot more complicated. I’m 49 now staring at 50 and I cannot complain. However, I wish I could go back and start it all over again from age 30.I have one of these birthdays coming up tomorrow and I’m not going to lie I’m not looking forward to it.

Happy Early Birthday!I'm looking at 60 in a couple of weeks. Getting old sucks ass.
This is what feeling 50 turns like. There is a sense of gravity to it that you now feel a bit like an elder, but just not yet elderly. No complaints but for the first time your own mortality starts creeping in and, while being satisfied, you wish you could go back and be young and dumb again. This is the year where "youth is wasted on the young" really became a saying for me.I’m 49 now staring at 50 and I cannot complain.

It’s not for sissies. 🤨I'm looking at 60 in a couple of weeks. Getting old sucks ass.
The shocking thing is that as you move through the second half of your life there are MANY times where your brain is still in 30 years old mode but then your 50+ year old self says “WTF are you thinking, woman?” 😬I turned 50 last year, but still feel and act like I'm in my 30s.

LOL my sig pic is all I’m ever posting.Pics or it didn’t happen.
I voted 70 because I'm looking forward to being able to tell everyone I'm 69.
The biggest thing that bothered me about turning 50 was the fact that the next milestone is 60. Age is such a mind fvck because I remember things from my teens, 20s, 30s and 40s and they all seem like yesterday. I am 53 and since I quit drinking about 13 months ago, I feel like I am 35. Most people guess my age at least ten years younger than what it is. I am thankful for that at least, especially with two young children.This is what feeling 50 turns like.

Meh I figured it was all downhill birthday wise after 21. So I wasn't even looking forward to my 22nd birthday.
On my 40th birthday I was extremely pre-occupied with my mortality.
My 69-ing days are almost over. Turning 70 in a few days. Spent the last year without knowing which way was up or which way to turn.
Love it.tl;dr I dreaded 50, but now that I’m here I’m having a blast.

When I turned 50 in 2022 I really started to think about how many “good” years I have where I can do pretty much anything I want. At some point the physical reality of aging will impact my life and I want to make sure I get all the bucket list things accomplished before that point. Why save all the money until I can’t enjoy the activities I would spend it on?
So I quit my job, started volunteering in non profits that I truly believe in, and have started doing things that arguably I should have done in my twenties. I just wrapped up a 4 night 50 mile hike through the Grand Canyon, have traveled extensively (for fun finally have decades of doing it for work), etc.
Age is just a number and if you’re still able then go for it - if you want to. 😏My 69-ing days are almost over. Turning 70 in a few days. Spent the last year without knowing which way was up or which way to turn.
Loved my 60s, retired with money, no worries and had good health with lots of travel.I'm looking at 60 in a couple of weeks. Getting old sucks ass.
Very sweet. I like it.One way to look at life is to value your relationships .
It starts with love for your parents and your siblings.
Then comes marriage and love for your spouse and
children. You also have the relationships with your
close friends. Yes, enjoy your life and the people in it.
We were already on the no pic’s insurance. She’s a few years younger and still very engaged by her work. The only downside is that I end up doing more things solo that I would rather do with her. But, I can always do them again later when she comes to the same conclusion.Love it.
What are you doing for health insurance?
