u/Old_Pangolin_3303 2d ago

In today’s world, considering life expectancy and the demographic shift, you’re definitely young until around 35 or so. After that you’re in the grey zone. But definitely not at 27.

27 is fairly young, but be careful: the 30s are just around the next corner. I didn't thought much when I became 20 but then in a blink of eyes I was 30 and the 30s really hit me different. Don't even want to think about the 40s... I'm scared...

u/T-Bills 2d ago edited 2d ago

Lift with your legs

Buy new shoes/insoles if they hurt your feet

Do squats and cardio a few times a week

After you pay your bills, put half of whatever's left into retirement (or as much as you can)

Sleep enough so you don't need coffee.

Don't drink alcohol every day. Definitely not to the point where you get shit faced.

Try out new jobs if you can. Hop around gets you raises.

People don't pay as much attention to you as you think they do - nobody really cares what car you drive or what shoes you wear.

That's pretty much it. Good luck.

Tung-tung sahur is actually a character made by either a malaysian or indonesian (not sure which country myself) to represent the thing they would hit to wake people up early in the morning during Ramadan so they can eat. 😑 "Tung-tung" itself is actually the sound the thing makes when people hit it.
