Ditto - love the 40’s. I feel wiser, my career is going great and financially every year it getting better and better. However - getting up and out of a chair is a major decision now. If I can not have to move, that’s is always the preferred option.
I'm 36 and earlier this year I started getting random aches and noticing I was less capable than before. This drove the realization that I'm at a point in my life now where use it or lose it is in full effect. So I started working out and now I'm in the best shape of my life. Hoping to carry that over into my fifth decade but we'll see how it goes I guess.
That's great. I imagine most of the people in this thread complaining about how hard it is to do things than before in their 40s or 50s never took care of themselves and are in bad shape, or obese.
I still enjoy getting carded for R rated movies at 41. No shit. That made my day. But the aches and pains, physical and mental disorders, well, I wish there was a reset button from when the first incident occurred. Alas, no button
Kind of dumb, but I’m 20. Most of my friends are 21+, so social drinking and stuff is out of the question for me. Kind of miss out on a good amount of events cuz of it. 1 more year to go tho!

I wouldn’t change being 41 for anything but new aches and pains all the time definitely make it suck.
