40 was rough. I feel for you. Luckily, 41 was much easier ... Have one on me...

You might as well buy shorts and tall socks and sandals and give into the old man look now.

No sadly it's not. You have a least a couple of decades of misery to live through yet.

Wait until you turn sixty ! Then, you'll think your life is *really, really, really * over. Really ! But it won't be.

I turn 40 next week. I think 38 was actually a big deal cause I had a health scare and realized I was closing in on 40. Now I've had two years to accept 40 and get back in the best shape I've been since my twenties!
Except for my thinning hair I look 5 years younger which I am thankful for. Very little gray still too.
We will see if I freak out at 50 or 60...

Weird things get me. I'm not much of a country music fan, but used to like the Tim McGraw song, Next 30 Years... I can't listen to it any more, all I end up doing is the math...

Happy birthday MMC, ziba and Morris. There used to be a newspaper column called " Life Begins at Forty ". I used to think forty was old, but y'all are just young whippersnappers to me now.

Aw Sweetie, every decade gets better. My youngest is in high school now, & I'm already thinking about all of the travel I hope to do once I'm an empty-nester. And, the best part about getting older is, you care less & less about what other people think of you.
Happy Birthday!

Just wait until your children start closing in on 40! That's an eye opener.
I liked turning 60 for a reason that only YM will appreciate. You can access your retirement funds without penalty if necessary! Lol.

Do you have friends and relatives with kids though? Sometimes thats worth. I see mine every day and it kind of sneaks up on you. Then i see kids of friends or relatives i haven't seen for awhile and its like wow... i'm getting old...

MY LIFE IS OVER: Turned 40 yesterday.. Well, that must be a relief! So now that you aren't confined to 'having a life' and all the strings that are attached to that what do you plan to do with all your new found freedoms and time? I have to admit, I felt pretty good with 'accomplishing' 30, 40, and even 50 a few months ago. It was kinda liberating (and yes alittle bit melancholy). So, what ARE you going to do going forward? It's like a whole new beginning.

Then i see kids of friends or relatives i haven't seen for awhile and its like wow... i'm getting old... My nephew went in the Air Force last year and his brother and sister are in high school now. They are 800 miles away though, so we only see them every few years. A lot of our friends either didn't have kids, or they are a little older than us and their kids are out of high school.

DH and I were married for 10 years and he was 40 when we had our oops. Just sayin'.
See, now that you've had the awful scare of being 40 and parent to an infant you didn't plan on... just being plain old 40 doesn't seem so bad, does it?

We've done pretty good for ourselves with our net worth north of 1 mil, but the next 10 years should really ramp that up. I plan to be over $300k/yr in compensation within the next 5 years and my wife should be over $100k by then also. Our $2300/mo Mortgage (includes escrow) is tiny compared to compensation and we'll average well over $100k in yearly savings over the next 10 years while still leaving plenty of room for my need for speed addiction and home improvements. The future is indeed bright, but I allowed myself a few minutes for self pity on reaching the dreaded 40

Happy birthday MMC, ziba and Morris.
The last milestone birthday I remember is when I turned 70 DH arranged for a hot air balloon ride and breakfast for us. It was wonderful.
Otherwise it's just another day.
DS#1 turned 50 last year we got a tee shirt for him. Bright yellow with red letters.
S ure H appy I T urned

He laughed. DIL will get one next year when she turns 50.

You wanna feel old. Think about your baby sitter's kids having kids But I really don't feel old mentally, spiritually or physically. I'm a lucky old broad I guess.
